lol not that Big Mike isn't awful but plaintiff's attorneys say that kind of poo poo and make that kind of threat literally all the time, its just they phrase it more artfully the moral distinction between being an extortionist and and being a plaintiff's atty is precisely zero

Lol at Avenatti and Geragos being invited to Nike lawyers’ office and asked to repeat their “settlement demand” a little bit louder please on this side of the room, and then loving doing it. Go have lunch and talk about it, this isn’t hard. Re: ambulance chasers v. insurance defense Roger_Mudd posted:It's different ends of the same poo poo sandwich. This is the correct take, except only one side routinely engages in fraud

Plaintiff’s Bar = fighting for justice and taking a third of what the little man deserves so can be made 2/3 whole Insurance Defense Bar = I need at least 200 of these cases every year because I can only bill $140 an hour

^^ Do you get to keep at least 7 figures for yourself? Soothing Vapors posted:v sorry to offend the Ambulance Chasers Local 406, plz lets be pals again Eh, at least they take from the rich and give to the poor (even if it's only 2/3). There is something real there, even if the real job is threatening truckers on the phone or w/e.

There were days at the public defender's office when I'd have a beer with lunch and my boss would be in the same restaurant. If I did that now I'd be fired.
