>> contingent fees coupled with legal 'advertising' for clients without penalty for frivolous lawsuits is a recipe for abuse

Totally agree.

I'm not sure how to fix it, though. Probably some kind of cap is worth a try. The problem, of course, is that it is tough to get a Congress comprised of lawyers to put a cap on legal fees, of any kind.

The entire process is upside down at this point. Instead of injured prospective litigants seeking out a good attorney, you have attorneys who seek out litigants that make easy prey at 35 or 40%, when they already know they have a case.
