"A few of these little shops that are the targets of these suits are actually fronts for money laundering for organized crime. They might not take too lightly to being the victims of this kind of extortion."

How do we know that these lawyers aren't working for organized crime? If all the competition were elimenated, the laundering shops could expand in each locality and launder a lot more money, no? And those shops that elected to "settle" would essentially be paying protection money --a process that we know never ends.

Actually their organization is much like that of an organized crime shakedown. It is a form of the extortion that was rampant in the depression era mafias. But rather than threats of violence, these clowns are using a threat of protracted litigation, which can literally bankrupt a small company.

One can only hope that there are some legitimate mobsters out there who are a little bit ticked off that these clowns have started up a shakedown racket in their territory. :-)

BTW I would be willing to bet that these guys are disbarred before next Christmas.

Not if voters decide that protecting corrupted autorepair shops is more important than protecting consumer rights' mercenaries' rights to sue them.
