More Regulations = More Lawyer Abuse
Dear Fellow American, January 2006
As many cry out for more regulations, consideration should be given to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act,which governs all aspects of wage-and-hour workplace regulation. Whole cottage industry of attorneys are filing claims for small sums under this provision that requires little work beyond the initial filing, then claiming fees sometimes in the tens of thousands. Many protract the litigation because the law allows them to also collect their fees from the defendants. Most use the same form for every client and are doing cut-and-paste jobs. Their fee,in a quickly settled case, is often more than ten times the amount paid to the plaintiff. In a 2003 $315.00 claim,attorney Donald Jarret requested $16,000.00.
As the Feds continues to target other nations for WMD's, the real proliferation of much graver concern is the explosion of lawyers and their fees.This silent social revolution has caused the geometric increase of bureaucracy and its costs in healthcare, in government, in financial capital, in education, and in corporate circles. Avarice and standardless behavior will never stay confined in the legal circle.It will metastasize, infecting critical fields, and ultimately render society helpless to their stranglehold.
Very Truly Yours,
