OT Two short essays

BJ Conner:
Edwards got $800,000 of the settlement.

Assuming that Edwards received a portion of his client's settlement, how
much would his client have received without an attorney willing to take the
case on a contingency basis?

In a world where all corporations have access to attorney representation the
contingency arrangement is a necessary means of securing legal
representation for the common man.

to represent thermselfs.

Stev L notes
This has certainly been my experience. Finding an attorney and placing
one's trust in that attorney can be as exasperating and potentially harmful
as choosing a physician.

life is full of choices, which one must make in an informed fashion. You were
responding to Lou who noted:

.....which, while it brings to mind many responses, argues strongly for finding
a competent legal spokesperson, when the need arises.

chain reactions, and haircuts?

who, as a some time dabbler in invective, has all due respect for a man's
chosen profession, but nevertheless laments the waste of a gifted amateur.

It has been said that anyone who acts as his own attorney in a court of law
has a fool for a client. More to the point, as Lou so ably demonstrates
above, he has a fool working for him.

i mean, it's a life or death matter.

Well, if you live in Texas.........
