Edwards got $800,000 of the settlement. The start of a career as a
vulture. I'll write in Alferd E Neuman before a professional leach.

That's how contingencies work. Thirty percent is pretty standard.

FWIW, I though Edwards changed career paths to represent the doctors.

Nope -- he has always been a plaintiff's attorney.

Not old , not bitter, I have more fun than I am entitled to. Made money
without steeling it. I would not vote for your friend who has no morals.
If he's such a sweetheart nomimate him for sainthood. I've read how he
made in money and I wouldn't vote for someone who made it that way. It
would have been a tough decision to pick between a moron and a Edwards.
Looks like I won't have to now.
If you look on your keyboard there's a wide key with an arrow on it, it
makes upper case letters.

It does beggar the imagination, doesn't it, how some of these lawyers
can look themselves in the mirror. I'm reminded of a sexual discrimination
lawsuit against the city of Peoria a few years back. Twelve female civil
servants were routinely denied raises and promotions while less qualified
and younger males rotated through the ranks. The suit was in court for
two years when the city of Peoria offered a $12 million settlement. The
female lawyer who took the case recommended that her clients accept the
offer but got all huffy when one of the clients complained that the lawyer
was gonna charge $10 million and leave the 12 civil servants to divide
the remaining $2 million. The lady lawyer said that the $10 million was
actually LESS than her usual fee but she was satisfied to settle for so
little because she so strongly believed in the cause.

First thing we do ...
