If this suit is a phony, why hasn't it been thrown out long before now?
It's called politics, dirty lawyers and judges.
There were 5 people in that class action lawsuit. Now, the original initiator of the suit wants out. She actually made a video of how much she enjoyed the seminars.
I've gone to many seminars...because they're mandatory for me to keep my license. I've been licensed for 30 years....and this mandatory ed has only been around for about 10 years. It's supposed to make you better at your job. It's a crock. 90% of the classes aren't even applicable. A few folks are making some big bucks off these mandatory seminars.
One of the attorney at that law firm William Lerach pleaded guilty in 2007 to a $251 million client-kickback scheme and spent 19 months in jail.
If I were looking for a respectable firm, I would not choose one that a recent former partner was Lerach. But as my nephew an attorney says you can sue a ham sandwich.
