    What makes you think she didn't? For the sake of argument though, do you think the plaintiff was unaware of any of those facts before filing the case? This case could exist without lawyers, but it couldn't exist without the Plaintiff. In any case, the lawyer is an employee of the plaintiff. If the lawyer works at a firm, then she likely also has bosses at the firm assigning cases to her.

    I'm not defending the case. I agree with your points, but more often than not, lawyer-hating should be redirected toward the clients. There are actual scumbag lawyers out there, but my experience is that the profession is pretty much even with any other profession in that regard.

    Aren't you married to a lawyer?

    You guys should be pissed at the people that made laws allowing for frivolous lawsuits like this, not the lawyers.

    Yes, but most American politicians were lawyers at one time

    On second thought, you probably should be pissed at lawyers.

    I think we should be mad at both. It's a free country, despite the best efforts of either!

    Perhaps, but there is a large population of idiots that keep voting for them.
