Reply #39: Then maybe you should have been a bit more

clear about that, instead of backpedaling after the fact.

As a paralegal for fifteen years, I KNOW the kind of work that goes into even the seemingly "simple" cases, let alone cases such as this. I know that they often have to advance thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars in fees and expenses during case preparations, before they ever receive a dime. I know the kind of overhead and expenses of legal offices, even small and solo ones, and I've worked for people who've put in a helluva lot more work than they ever charged for. I've seen attorneys go broke trying to assist people either for free or only charging what people could afford, only to turn around and constantly hear this kind of shit about "greedy attorneys" and how much they "take" from settlements and it's getting mighty goddamned old.
