Here's the deal. And this is why I tread lightly on subjects dealing with lawyers.
You are not going to find any attorneys who will take your case unless you begin to try and view it from a lawyers standpoint.
If you were any attorney, you WANT money. Hey, isn't that the bottom line here? Its about money. So if there were any chance in hell that you could make a case stick, wouldn't you try to find a way to do that?
Most attorneys when they take your case DO NOT want your involvement. They are looking forward to the end and their bottom line, the fucking money. If an attorney tells you that there bottom line is to help you, they are lieing and you don't want them. So, be honest with any attorney you find.
I would think it would be in your best interest, if you are able, to begin to speak to as many attorneys as you possibly can, and to begin to write down all of the things that were done to you at Straight that may still be applicable in law and beyond statutes of limitations.
Around here the words 'Statutes of Limitations' has become a regular icon/theme. You talk to someone like Sammie Monroe or Mike Sherman, those are the first words that come out of their mouths, NO JOKING HERE and I am not trying to insult, and its because they know the score. They are not dumb, most attorneys won't touch your stuff and the abuse and all that. This is because there may not exist any old insurance claims, there aint no money for the attorney to go and get.
I would be willing to brain storm all of the myriad of possibilities that may exist when it comes to attorneys. I think you should be willing, too.
For example, there are attorneys who exist for medical malpractice - you know this. But, attorneys are out there for physical injuries such as back pains that may be related to motivating eroneously. Attorneys exist who want to hear about your body conditioning, mental conditioning specifically Psychologist Attorneys who work the laws of Mental Anguish and more specifically. Attorneys exist who work law for you and do investigation, free attorneys and others. RICO attorneys, class action attorneys, med mal lawyers, property loss attorneys, civil attorneys. If you look hard enuff, one will take your honest bait and contact you back.
