Well, this has degenerated into what we all can expect. The attorneys that chase cases are the scum and the defenders of the accused are the righteous.

Frankly, I think all lawyers need to be regulated and the system that has been created needs to be completely overhauled. The only ones that really benefit monetarily are the lawyers. It will never happen. Clowns like Edwards and Clinton are Lawyers that's why, they have the power and you don't.

The house I live in now was purchased with a contract that included a seller's and buyer's agent. My agent insisted on specific verbiage in the contract and, after the sale when I found my roof was bad (misrepresented by seller and his agent), and the septic system was trash (misrepresented by seller and his agent), I was able, with my agents help, to get restitution from the seller. The cost of remediation was borne by the sellers agent, my agent, and the seller. I got a new roof and a new septic system. My agent went up to the top of the heap in my opinion after this.

You cannot relegate your power to these people, they'll screw you every time if you let them. They really don't care about you and they'll run the other way if you don't nail them down legally. A lawyer that operates on contingency CAN be a better advocate for your rights, depends on how far he's pushed by opposing counsel and you.

BJ gets away with what they do because we want those cars so bad we'll ignore what is in our best interest just to get them. Same thing is true of real estate agents and their attorney's. Of course, everyone doesn't get the same treatment.......they did their homework.

Buyer beware!
