45. Don't think Kerry lawyers are the answer
Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 02:15 PM by davidgmills
Chances are, they are not contingent fee lawyers. You need contingent fee lawyers on these kinds of cases. If not, Diebold and ESS will just ring up the time and expenses of hourly lawyers (motions, written discovery, depositions, hotels, meals, court reporters, copying, etc., etc.,) until all the money runs out. Then the case goes away. When the other side has limited funds, the name of the game is to break the bank.

See my post below on how to entice contingent fee lawyers to get excited about doing the work -- re-exit poll -- it gives them a good feeling that the investment of their time and money will pay off in the end.
