Just like a lib - when all else fails BLAME BUSH
You expect the trial lawyers to care if their client gets any money out of a case?

My, how trial lawyers look after their clients
Suit winner nets pocket change
Lawyers fees, expenses reimbursements leave her feeling cheated

When Justine Thompson was forced to retire from her state job after 28 years because of a nasty fall she took in an icy parking lot, she figured she had protected herself by hiring a personal injury attorney.
That was before the accounting of the $35,000 settlement arrived in the mail from Cellino & Barnes. The lawyers share was $10,000.
The law firm repaid itself another $3,600 in expenses.
New York took $21,000 to repay workers compensation. Justine Thompsons share? A check for $6.60.
Its not the kind of settlement that television ads for The Barnes Firm boast about, claiming $150 million for auto injury clients alone over the last few years.
Thats not even enough to buy a Happy Meal, says Thompson, who found nothing at all happy about the experience.
Neither do two attorneys, one from Rochester, another from Syracuse, who filed a malpractice suit on her behalf against Cellino & Barnes, its successor, The Barnes Firm, and Michael J. Cooper, the Barnes Firm lawyer who represented Thompson. This lady is the poster girl for whats wrong with this profession, said S. Robert Williams, the Syracuse lawyer who filed the suit with Patrick J. Burke of Rochester.
More than just an example of a woman whose case they allege was mishandled, they say, this is a clash of philosophy on how to attract and satisfy clients in the controversial field of personal injury law.

hahaha. Trial lawyers, cough john "i supposedly care about the poor" edwards.
Trial lawyers have earned the reputation they have
They even changed their name from the American Association of Trial Lawyers to the "Association for Justice" or something. What a laugh. But they usually laugh on the way to the bank...
