Lerach, who recently emerged from an almost two-year stretch in prison, is greatly responsible for this rigged game. As an attorney who filed hundreds of class-action suits against corporations, he became a bigger fraudster than a lot of the companies he was pursuing. First, he filed many dubious suits, rejoicing when 90 percent of the companies decided to settle for millions of dollars rather than spend the time and money fighting. That stratagem wasn’t illegal, but it was grossly unethical — the classic shakedown. Companies called it getting “Lerached.” Second, Lerach and his firms paid fat kickbacks to shifty characters to become plaintiffs in those lawsuits. That was illegal, landing Lerach in prison..

Trump has probably been sued hundreds of times. The term “squeaky clean” does not describe the man.
Solution? Better call Saul
It’s one of the hazards of being rich...there’s always somebody out there looking to win the “lawsuit lottery” at your expense.
So these attorneys are usual shakedown artists who go around threatening to sue people in the hopes of a quick payoff.
Reason 42 why I hate lawyers.
I agree, but "target for every scammer, opportunist, sleazy lawyer on the landscape" does.
Yep, as we suspected, the Trump University stuff is all a GOPe effort to undercut him.
...and good luck with that now that Cruz has all but endorsed Rubio.
ALL billionaires have numerous attys on retainer for the hundreds of lawsuits filed against them by money grubbing lowlifes.. it goes with the territory
Ask CW - she probably knows the plaintiffs middle names !
According to the article he’s been disbarred. How can he be suing Trump U.?
They all sound like the GOPe chapter of the Hiliary for President campaign. They would rather have her than Trump.
Speaking of fraud, this post is designed to dupe people into believing that this is the lawyer suing Trump.
Folks, read the article.
He’s not. This post is designed to deceive, nothing more.
Of course, these scammers go after the big money. There’s no money to be squeezed out of little Joe Average with 4 kids, two mortgages and about to be pink slipped.
When Jesse Jackasson and Al Sharptoon do this extortion it’s okay, because black lives matter, Jesse’s and Al’s that is.

You don’t need to be a lawyer to file a suit... In this case he probably had an associate file for him since he wasn’t directly harmed.
Actually, they are so particularly sleazy they were convicted and went to prison for using Actors to pose as victimized class action suit victims.
No, the article says the law firm of the disbarred attorneys is bringing the suit in California. The firm and attorneys were specialists in this kind of lawsuit. I guess two of them caught.
I must be missing that part. Where is it?
Folks, read the article.
If the "folks" read the article, this it what it says:
"Making matters worse, Schneiderman chose to devote such valuable taxpayer dollars to looking into Trump University even though there was already a class action lawsuit pending in California brought by the firm of disgraced former lawyers and convicted felons Bill Lerach and Mel Weiss."
Their firm was Milberg, Weiss, Bershad, Hynes & Lerach LLP."
These two just got caught. Thanks for looking out for the folks, though.
