Good job Ned. Andrew appears to be one of those self impressed attorneys that is in it just for the deep pockets. \”Real people with real injuries\” are the ones most companies are trying to help. Besides, haven\’t attorneys been around longer than insurance companies? Just look at what they have done to screw up the world.
I\’ m proud to be a claimant\’s trial lawyer for over 30 years. I offer no apologies for my societal role in helping greviously injured people recover financially when others attempt to escape responsibility and accountability for their reckless and, at times, deceptive actions.
Shakespear\’s \”kill all the lawyers,\” is quoted and understood out of context. In context, it means to quash opposition, silence the people by silencing their advocates, succeed by eliminating all challenge. It is a facist, totalitarion ideology.
Those that have offered desparaging comments are either mesmerized or ignorant. Perhaps, they have been Bushwacked by big business, big oil, big insurance and protective political administrations that cry trial lawyer as they take the citizens\’ right away—the very people who, here, denigrate their true allie, trial attorneys. Just wait til you need one of us.
Oh, and finally, truth in advertising? Take another look at the name of the organization critisizing our name change. Are you brainwashed, tunnel visioned, or just stupid? Branding is a politically motivated reality—like it or not.
Your holier than thou attitude is scary if truly believed. Just as the German people started to believe the rhetoric they were fed by the third reich you probably really beleive the nonsense you spout off.
The fact is that the current legal system in our country has greatly affected all US citizens from a cost and behavior standpoint. Litigation toward schools has greatly affected discipline and the overall learning enviroment for our children.
Frivolous lawsuits that remove any sort of personal responsibility regarding food, alcohol, reckless behavior and actions have become nothing more than a lottery system with trial lawyers being the primary benificiary.
Your nonsense on addressing oil companies and insurance companies is also illogical. Insurance companies would not sell half of the insurance products / pricing they sell if not for the ever present fear of litigation. Big oil would not be insulated from supply/demand equations if enormous portions of the US were not off limits due to enviromental litigation that is pervasive on any natural resource project.
You are a parasite that has largely outlived it\’s usefulness. Just as labor unions were vitally important to protect workers in the early years of industry lawyers were needed to address many of societal issues. Now that many of these issues are addressed and information flows so freely many lawyers are redundant and create false profit for themselves at the expense of all US citizens. Our children will live at a much lower standard of living than we did because of your parasitical behavior.
Spare all of us your self righteous indignation and go back to conjuring up schemes to bilk money out of any party you can find that has some deep pockets; without regard to the actual level of culpability.
You hide behind a pseudoname in expousing you maligned, misguided hatred of a profession obliged to defend those, seemingly and to your good fortune unlike you, that are victimized by Corporate America.
Your time may come. You, like other ranting anti-lawyers will be singing a different tune indeed. But for now, I wish you freedom from that need ;and ,freedom to gleefully and delusionally follow your Pied Piper path.
No more wasted time posting replies here, I need to chase that ambulance. It\’s how I stay in shape.
Actually, like most Americans, I have been \”victimized\” by corporate America numerous times. 3 layoffs and 2 firings along with many years of sbustandard raises while the execs get obscene bonuses and options are pretty much the norm for any 35 year employee in many industries. Last I checked I had the freedom to choose other careers and options.
However, I don\’t look for lotteries and enrichment from the system. Just like losing a ball game you work to prepare and do better the next time.
The cost of a lawsuit in lost freedoms and dependence on governement and others is much greater than the capital you extort from eveyone. While you may find it possible to hide your kids in private schools or live in areas with a great public school system a great portion of the US population does not enjoy this luxury. While you may live well your children will either lack the competitive skills necessary to function in a capitalistic society or be unable to find other workers that can support them in this endeavor. This will not be the case in China, South /Central America or Asia. Your short term gains in setting ungrounded and biased legal precedents cause inestimable daamge to future generations of Americans.
You have the right in America to be a blood sucking leach. Just get the backbone to label yourself what you really are instead of cloaking yourself as some great \”robin hood\” protector of the masses. You would probably find that some Amercians would respect you more if you labeled yourself as a parasite versus \”American Association for Justice\”.
Wait till you get injured on the job and have to file a workers\’ compensation claim. Then, you\’ll see how the company and the state laws \”help\” the injured worker. Why don\’t you ask your actuary and economist counterparts to disclose the true effect of litigation on insurance rates and our economy. I an certain your anti-\”trial lawyer\” rhetoric would be dispelled by the truth in the numbers. Or don\’t you believe in statistics, either? Keep up the intellegent discussion. It\’s amuzing. Glad not to be part of your club.
I guess you\’d be happier not knowing that your insurance company stole money out of your pocket. I\’d prefer a system where corporations who steal are charged criminally for their actions, but if civil liability is all I can hope for, I\’ll take it.
I was a beneficiary in a class action against a brokerage company who charged excessive fees for mutual funds. My father made the investment and I was the beneficiary of the account. I ended up getting a check for over $700. That may not be much money to you, but it sure was to me. Think about how many other people were cheated out of $700 or more and that really makes me angry.

This would make a great name for this organization.
They could develop a nice gold an brown pin to be worn proudly in the courtroom when they are protecting the american public\’s interest!
