- ksinclair81, that's the myth of the free market. Allowing anarchy doesn't provide adequate security against predatory sharks. Vigilantisim defends some but not enough. We need a system of laws protecting against exploitive sociopaths. I hope if this attorney is proven unfairly exploiting this man, our system of law will effectively leave this person a greater loss than the thousands of dollars claimed.
Jack Abramhoff said stupid people deserve to lose but the preamble of the constitution promotes for the general welfare. This is not possible in a state of sociopathic anarchy. Hmm, Jack A. is in jail now. Doubt his hubris allows him to admit to being stupid though. - Reply to this comment

- The lawyers should be "overruled" and disbarred.
Just because they "can" get away with something doesn't mean they should.
Now I know of two other folks (these two lawyers) that are slime, and are to be avoided, and spit upon karmically.

- I agree in pricipal you should read everything before you sign it, but I know I've been in situations where you'd need to be a lawyer to understand some of the fine print. Also, if you've ever been at a closing for buying a house, they shove so many papers in front of you to sign, if you read every word, it would take a days to get though it all!
It looks to me like this law firm taking unfair advantage of Mr. Autrey. - Reply to this comment
- I don't like lawyers so much, but I dislike people who sue every other minute even more!

- Sheesh - what was he supposed to do here - get a lawyer to give advise whether he should sign agreement with this lawyer?
The lawyer should be ashamed of herself - but she's one of the money-grubbing, thieving kind to be sure - there are good ones - but apparently they number far and few. - Reply to this comment
- While certainly a contract should be read before it is signed and a better offer certainly may have come along, if the facts as stated in the article are correct, this law firm was obviously working in their own interest and not in the interest of their client.
What happens when a lawyer takes Viagra?
He gets taller.
Hopefully this case will substatial hit the bottom line of this law firm by deterring future clients. That would be the free market at its best. - Reply to this comment

- "So much for unselfish acts of heroism."
So you think in the split second that he had to make a decision, he was doing it for the money? And now that he has an opportunity to make money, you would call him "selfish?" And all of this coming from someone who defends the right of the rich on a daily basis.

No, I don't think he made a split second decision to do it for the money. It was a genuine act of bravery. It's just turned ugly. - Reply to this comment
- Attorneys these days are usually more interested in 'winning' a case than the moral ramifications of representing someone. I know of a lawyer in my area who helped convict an innocent man, but much later, he was exonerated. .. All they had to say for it, was 'Well, at least I won!'

- This man's simple act of bravery and heroism was a bright spot in a world of greed, selfishness and chaos. I guess that didn't last very long.

- This man also served his country in Viet Nam. For him to be taken advantage of by the likes of these cockroaches, is despicable.

- Lawyers are not human beings.
Their "profession" is the most despicable on the face of the earth.
All lawyers are composed as follows:
25% con artist
25% parasite
25% prostitute
25% pathological liar
Keep this is mind when you seek their "advice." - Reply to this comment
- It's nice to see such positive comments for a change, I agree with all!

- You know, I saw Mr. Autrey doing interviews the night he saved that boy and he was truly a humble man. He didn't strike me as anything but someone who went above and beyond to save a stranger's life. Meaning he wasn't arrogant or "puffed up" by what he did. He seemed genuinely surprised to be called a hero for doing something he really felt was what he "should do" in that situation. At the time I saw him I thought that we should all be more like Mr. Autrey.
Also...he wasn't an educated man so it isn't that hard to believe he was exploited and taken advantage of by a law firm. I hope they ditch that contract and protect someone who absolutely deserves to have good things happen to him. - Reply to this comment
