re: The entire personal injury racket is corrupt, and it's not just the plaintiff lawyers.

I have a niche practice. The T.V. lawyers don't hurt my business.

OP can GTFO, defense attorneys are the worst, always scheming to cheat people out of what is fair

Idiot. The billboards and T.V. ads are nationwide. Even Hawai'i. Has little to do with a state's "legal climate"

You got in a few good licks.
FWIW, OP is typical of a 25+ year career defense slave. The grind will devour you. And, to add insult to injury, there is no market for his book. Catharsis, yes...business plan? No better than his insurance defense career.

Read the whole thread, toolbag. I said I tell everybody never hire a T.V. lawyer. I despise them and what they've done to our profession. I'm just fortunate that they haven't affected my practice much.

They're not all bad when some of them are quoting bible verses when I know for a fact some of them are legit atheists, some of them hardcore. Some of them usually for John 3:16 but they at least try to get creative with other parts of the scripture too.
Now that's pure sleaze. What is it about your profession that attracts piece of shite liars?

We have as many physician boards in our town? What does that mean? Am I missing out cause I ain’t got no boards?

Tort reform in 90s already was bad enough and you want torts restricted further, it’s funny how ppl bitch about this until they are injured
Posted on 5/5/18 at 9:59 pm to Sentrius
Money, like a lot of other professions.

First of all, dickwad, I represent the people (mostly companies, as my practice is commercial and trucking) who pay the premiums.
I might be a dime a dozen lawyer, but I've done well enough. I have won some big cases and have a nice 401k. Hope to retire early.
Otherwise, you don't have a clue who I am or what I do. Can't say I've ever chased around little old ladies. Go back to the bottle, tough guy.

You don’t do UM defense? That a line you don’t cross for principle?

A little. I have had one UM case in the last 2 years.
And I never claimed to have principles.

Had an accident with LaQuandra and she took my insurance company [Geico] to the cleaners for "neck pain" in a 30mph crash. Let's just say I'm over-covered out of my arse and hopefully she hasn't spent it all investing in lottery tickets.

First of all, know that I am a defense attorney and have been for a quarter of a century.
The plaintiffs are corrupt. They have been conditioned to think every car accident entitles them to some money. They lie about their injuries. Many get surgery if the policy limits are high. It is a culcha of "get what's mine" and it is ubiquitous.
The plaintiff attorneys are corrupt. They talk sanctimoniously about "helping people" (LOL) but they're in it to get rich. They exploit a bad system by signing up uninjured people, running them through their corrupt doctors, pushing them to have treatment they don't need, and doing everything they can to inflate damages.
The doctors are corrupt. Don't listen to anybody who tells you otherwise. When a doctor's practice is 100% based on attorney referrals, he is corrupt. And there are plenty of those out there.
The judges are corrupt. Most are former plaintiff attorneys who never really made a killing (defense lawyers generally don't run for judge because they don't want the pay cut, although some do). They take care of their own. Some are absolutely brazen in their contempt for defendants. I can name 15 in NO/BR without stopping to take a breath.
Defense attorneys are mostly corrupt (at least the ones that do well). They benefit from the rigged system and don't want it to go away. Many lie on their timesheets and churn files unnecessarily to generate more fees.
The insurance companies. LOL. They are my clients. They are just trying to run a business and make it as profitable as possible. But to do that, they treat their defense lawyers badly. They make bad decisions, ignore their lawyers' advice, and blame their lawyers when shite goes wrong. Oh, and they gouge the shite out of ordinary people with high premiums and refuse to pay legitimate claims.
The whole system is rigged. It is not likely to change until people stop driving cars.
And yes, I am writing a book.
Another thing you can hug a liberal and thank them for!!!

A book does need to be written. Let me know if you need a few chapters

There are no viable alternatives or cures that would have any chance of passing the Louisiana legislature (also corrupt). Tort reform is impossible as long as the lawmakers are predominantly lawyers with a vested interest in the rigged system.
100% correct. Until the jury threshold is lowered from 50k to something like 10k or 0 nothing will change.
