And lawyers wonder why they have a very deserved reputaion? I recently got
a letter that I was part of a class because I have replacement/damage
insurance on my cellphone. Someone didn't like the way some trivial part of
coverage was handled and brought suit. A law firm got it certified as a
class. The law firm "agreed" to accept $1,250,000 for their important work
and members of the class get a phone card valued up to $5.00 .
