Political Quotes

“You are tightening the tourniquet. You are making it tougher on people to bring lawsuits. You are making it impossible for an injured person without means or resources who may have an excellent lawsuit to bring them at all because we keep talking about, what about a person that walks into a lawyer's office having read a television advertisement saying that he will take the case without any up front payment of attorney fees on a contingency basis? What is wrong with that? The attorney that would take a case knows that if he does not have a reasonable case, he is not going to get anywhere, and he is not even going to get paid by his own admission. So I would urge the gentleman to consider the harm that we are bringing to working people and people bringing tort suits who may be injured with meritorious claim but may not have the $500 or $1,000 or $3,000 that an attorney might reasonably claim to start a suit.”
