Tony,

You should find a way to get on the ruling end of the Bar Assn and oust them. Levy heavy fines and give them community service until they scream for justice. Then give it to them, 30 days in jail per scream.

I used to love to do arbitration cases, one year I won 98 out of 99 filed. It was the best record anywhere.

But for that sleaze element, I've seen it. I went to jury duty one day for a black man on trial for taking a pain pill and drinking. His attorney showed up looking like he slept in the gutter all night. His clothes were more wrinkled than anything I've seen in my life and his hair was so greasy. So the judge asked me if I could be fair if chosen and I told him no. I said the man on trial had no hope because his attorney was in such poor condition he had no proper defense. I was excused. The judge should have thrown him out of the courthouse and told him not to return until he could see his way to the washer, dryer and a shower. What ilk. I know you've seen it. It sucks.

Why don't you become a geologist and then you can do what you love and get paid for it?
