I am a lawyer and I would advise my clients to stay as far away as possible without an ironclad Release and Hold Harmless. If you help out, they will sue you out of existence.

I was chatting this morning with legal...and they said considering how sneaky and deceitful this administration has been concerning the pulling the switch on the 75 million damage cap...no wonder everyone in the industry has turned their back on helping the residents along the Gulf coast...because of the THUG "federal government" skulking around looking for more revenue to steal from future O&G victims. Poetic justice that the "crisis" the lawyers in DC thought they needed to lawyer their way into revenue has bit them in the ass.... Lawyers will be, in the end, the biggest impediment to getting this crisis resolved...

I strive to be a "good lawyer"-one that cuts through the garbage and gets to a fair resolution. I would say 90% of lawyers seek the opposite-getting bogged down in expensive litigation as they hide behind "zealous advocacy". I will remain silent on their motives.

But you are right, lawyers will screw this up.
