Feel for you. Really. The legal profession (and I use that term loosely) is in the business of leaching. We are at least in the top 3 or 4 countries in terms of number of lawyers per capita. As a doc, I’ve seen literally dozens of frivolous lawsuits thrown at me and colleagues. Fortunate to have never settled or lost. Just a huge waste of time and money; and such a huge amount of stress. Lawyers made out like bandits in every case; their clients got nothing or lost money, and I lost money. Sorry for my rant but you struck a nerve. Impossible to change. Torte reform would require the Senate and House to pass a bill...but that’s impossible...cuz they are mostly....yeah, that’s right...Lawyers.
A large yacht carrying dozens of people crashed and sank in shark infested waters. Over the ensuing several hours, every person save one was systematically ripped to shreds by the growing frenzy of sharks. A trial lawyer reached the shore unscathed. When asked what happened, he simply said “Professional Courtesy”.
Yeah, you saw that one coming.
