The partner asked me if I wanted the "honor" of representing the King family. I wasn't crazy about the idea, and was even less so when I went to their website and found that it contained ideas that I felt were communistic and decidedly leftist. I reported my findings to the senior partner, declined to participate, and left it at that.
I think that they really wanted to be able to say that the firm represents the King family, and were annoyed with me that I didn't want to waste my time on them. As it turns out, no one else in the firm wanted to waste precious billables representing them, either.
They can pay for a lawyer, just like everybody else...especially with all the money they make shaking down everyone who dares to use an MLK quote.

The Kings apparently feel that due to the Rev's sacrifice, none of them should ever have to work or pay their own way, again. Imagine if the family of everyone who made the ultimate sacrifice felt that way? Oops, hundreds of 911 families already do!
