"There are too many greedy thieving lawyers out there. I think the decent ones are few and far between."
And what do you base this opinion on? the propaganda you get from the insurance industry?

The John Edwards of the world. The reason why is medical care so expensive. The torte lawyers who fee’s can take 30% or more, the class action lawyers who file enormous suits and the victims get paltry dollars while the scummy lawyer cleans up. My own attorney who when ever I have to call him chargers me 100’s of dollars for simply clarifying something he had sent me for which he already received 100’s of dollars for. I could go on and on.
