Proliferation Of Attorneys And Their Fees Are Gravest Concern-By Harsha Sankar

Dear Citizen, January 2006

As some constantly cry out for more regulations, consideration should be given to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act that governs all aspects of wage and hour workplace regulation.

Attorneys are filing claims for small sums under this provision that requires little work beyond the initial filing, and then claiming fees some times in the tens of thousands of dollars.

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 10 times the amount paid to the plaintiff.

As the federal government continues to target other nations for weapons of mass destruction, 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 in health care and government, in financial capital, in education and in corporate circles.

Avarice and standard less behavior will never stay confined in the legal circle. It will metastasize infecting critical fields and, ultimately, render society helpless to its stranglehold.
