Wonder if he is connected to Unions;)

So the 250 junior associates at his firm won’t be getting a Christmas bonus this year.

"All our fees and expenses are at risk," Sellers said, referring to the Wal-Mart case.

No tears here - he put them at risk in the hopes of a HUGE payoff bankrupting WalMart.

"All our fees and expenses are at risk," Sellers said,

I don't hear him complaining that he has made a successful business of bankrolling expensive, massive class actions. In recent years, the 60-attorney firm with offices in New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Chicago, has won hundreds of millions of dollars against the likes of Mercedes Benz, Bristol-Myers Squibb, 3M and Christie's International.

HA HA HA HO HO HO HEH HEH!!!!!!!!!!!! BOTTOM FEEDING SCUMBAGS.

[Steamburg]

Oh, boo F’ing Hoo. All of their fees and expenses are at risk. Who is crying for the defendant’s stock holders who were about to be destroyed?
Trial Lawyers and their channeled suffering...

Winning!

The Court found the claims filed by as many as 1.5 million women against the retail giant were too varied to permit class certification.

Yeah, the women were tall, short, young, old, heavy, thin, all sorts of skin colors... no way to see any commonality. Sorry.

Oh yeah, and Hillary used to be on the board of directors of WalMart, and China floods the country with economic warfare through WalMart, but that's irrelevent, so don't think about it.

Move along.

Their greed got ahead of procedure. All they could see were Wally World’ assets.

Way it goes.

If only we had Loser Pays in litigation.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of conniving shysters and greedy ambulance chasers.

No sympathy for these scoundrels here......

Bunch of hippies. Perhaps you'd like to call and congratulate them. A simple 3 second blow while the tongue is held between the lips is traditional.

How much is that in dog years?

“Loser Pays” in this case!

Somehow I doubt the blood sucking lawyers will miss the money much. They’ll just dig in and get more revenue from other cases. Sadly, other defendants that can’t mount a robust defense as Wal-Mart did will end up paying for this case. If ‘Loser Pays’ were implemented nation wide, perhaps the attorney’s aversion to going broke would keep these crap lawsuits out of the courts as much. What’s worse is how judges let this garbage happen. Judges have the power to stop it before it even gets started, but they seem to allow just about anything into a damn courtroom.

“Coffey recently founded BlackRobe Capital, a New York-based litigation funding company. The new company, which expects to launch in the fall, is an alternative for law firms that do not want to self-fund litigation by fronting the costs of a case in exchange for a piece of the winnings.”

Venture vultures for ambulance chasers.

For just a year, I would like to turn things around. How about 535 doctors get to write laws to impoverish lawyers.
