Mr. Reed, I read your FAQ and do not feel any more sympathetic toward class action lawsuits, lawyers in general, and you specifically. The class action participants still only get pennies on the dollar in most cases, while the lawyers get a proportionately huge chunk of change. You went to great detail in your FAQ to skirt that issue and to sell the concept that the lawyers get what they have earned. You extol that the class action system is all set up to allow the common man access to the legal system so that companies can be held accountable. I contend that the system is set up to benefit the lawyers. The class action suits drag on for years the company ends up settling and admits no wrong doing and everyone is happy. This system needs to be changed. I am more than happy to have you as an individual and your opinions on this board. Please keep your solicitations out of this forum. Regards, Milkman

Dear Justice, and I believe your sincerity in answering your FAQ as much as I do the sincerity that the lawyers who are soliciting class actions are for the benefit of anyone other than their own pocketbooks.Years ago there was at least some honors among those that practiced law. But now you class action attorneys have turned into ambulance chasers and are a disgrace (and not to your profession, because there are too many whores out there to call it a profession, but then again, maybe it is a profession). Get a real job and that would be justice, or contibute half your fees to a charity tz
