This Attorney Fuller guy....

I actually feel kinda sorry for this guy. I spoke with him on the phone before I wrote to him. Seemed like a nice guy and was pretty receptive to the concept of working things out, and seemed sympathetic to the situation. Initially. The next time, however, he was rather snippy.  Like he felt like a shit by having to relay his asswipe clients' position. Truth be told, though, everybody knows lawyers make more money as disputes get dragged out, and more if they have to litigate, and even more if they go to trial. Lots, in fact.

I do not know how people separate their duties from their feelings, but I do know in that field, money rules. Because nobody in their right mind could condone behaviour like this and nobody could think it was right and want to voluntarily support it. That said, you cannot make your client do anything and the deeper their pockets, the deeper yours. Even if it makes YOU feel like the asswipe.  THEY can always pay another asswipe.
