I finally got a screen shot of this one local lawyer .... actually something he must be PROUD OF !!

He proclaims ... JACK GOT THEM ... $ 1,500,000.00 !!

But GUESS what the small print says ?? !!

he don't work for DoCs ?

My sister was a Paralegal for an insurance company and was involved in many cases. She became frustrated with true victims getting the shaft while people gaming the system would get offered settlements from companies who didn't want to fight in court.

THX oleHam2.... I do have to retain an attorney or a legal assistant to put the paperwork in legalize for an unrelated matter to bring to the county or state attorney ....

A good long time friend of mine had a story from decades back. His 3 year old daughter started getting sick. It was late in the week and the Dr's office nurse heard the symptoms over the phone, said the Dr's are out, wait until Mon, give the child some pain medication and call us on Monday. Their insurance at the time has some seeing Dr restrictions so they sat tight. Sat night she got worse, so he took her to ER, the ER said this is more serious then they could handle, transported her to Pediatric Hospital. I visited that Hospital Mon Night, it looked serious, not sure the parents understood how so. I called my RN wife at the time, and wanted her to drop by hospital ASAP, she did on Tuesday, I donated Plasma for the child on Wed, she died Wed night.

The parents took the loss of their second child pretty hard. It sucked. They after awhile thought they had a valid legal malpractice case. I knew they were in over their heads when they both bought mid priced new cars and were looking at McMansions. One day he called me crying said he had been screwed. His wife evidently had signed paperwork in the beginning that the lawyers had full rights to settle, and the lawyers did, and after the lawyers cut, and all the "expenses"(BS inflated) They got nothing more. They eventually broke up and got divorced. The ex wife a few years later died of the same condition, a blood disease. My friend ran a lawn service business, he was always for years harping on how useful Round-up was for his line of work..

Bummer jCsea .... there are lots of PI attorneys down here. ONE FAMOUS GROUP with a tag line .....FOR THE PEOPLE could not be almost the total opposite! ... they only CHERRY PICK cases that are gravy.

A bud down here had a major dental screw up.... these people wouldn’t help him at all.

All those lawyers cherry pick unless they are desperate. So if the "For The People" lawyers take your case then you are pretty certain to win something. They know what they can win and what is risky. That firm didn't get to be the largest personal injury firm in the country by taking losing cases.

But banJONES.... that attitude of theirs is FOR THEMSELVES....

Do you know of the by the TAG LINE .... Jacks got your back ?

I don't know about Jack but I know the other one. He's a raging liberal, hosted Obama and held high dollar fund raisers for him BUT, he did fund the medical marijuana fight in Florida and it is now legal here so I give him credit for that.

Medical M ? ... ... and you know where that has gone !!

What kind of NET AMOUNT percentage have you heard of that the attorney gives to the injured party ?

They are all the same pretty much. They get 33%.

LOOKY at this one ...

FWIW, There are 54? counties in Florida, Broward is like now the 5th? population wise largest.

I heard a number of years back, there are more lawyers in Broward County, then all of Canada.

Not sure who exactly that means is the winner here on that topic.

I prefer Dick the butchers line “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

OT, my personal lawyer in Florida for decades IMO is rather conservative. He has selfies from decades hanging in his office with EVERY conservative player there ever was for that last 30+ years.

I took to heart when he mentioned one he will not work for, as he likes to get paid, who will remain nameless.

He also told me, he will defend me to my last dollar.

jCsea .... defend you to your LAST DOLLAR ?? .... then he bails out on you ??!!

Doesn’t sound like an attorney I would want for decades.... or am I missing something?

HaY DoC......... you BeLiEvE every TV commercial you see ?

hAy oleHam2.... did you digest THOSE NUMBERS in that screen shot ??!!

Is THAT a fair percentage in your mind ? IF I was a potential PI client ...I would not want to give up that kind of money to a lawyer if I was permanently disabled...

Doc....Any of the PI attorneys I worked for got 33% of the case winnings.

You would never get that without an attorney.
