Larry Birkhead Pays for Nothing

I seem to be on the legal rant these days. Larry Birkhead, probably the father of Anna Nicole's poor drug withdrawn infant, just got a bill from his now FIRED lawyer, for over $600,000. Oh really. She billed for every meal, and even took others (including her husband) out to eat on Larry's dime- not to mention the dry cleaning bills. It's like your surgeon billing you for driving to work, eating lunch and buying magazines on the day of your operation. But lawyers have immunity from screwing you to a wall. The don't regulate themselves, and they think that their 3 years of reading and writing after college entitle them to fees so ridiculous and exhorbitant that they make your electrician look like Mother Theresa. Why aren't they regulated? Because they run for OFFICE and get elected and then smirk while they stick it to the medical profession and to businesses through massive regulations. But the regulations for lawyers and their fees is less than minimal. Medical costs don't bankrupt the average American- but getting involved in a lawsuit is worse than having cancer. There is no insurance to help you- not even legal insurance. Legal insurance covers the bare minimum. Not the major episodes. Lawyers do whatever they want. Larry Birkhead asked his lawyer NOT to come to Anna's funeral- but she DID. The publicity seeking whore billed him tens of thousands for doing things he didn't want her to do. Pathetic. There needs to be a grass roots effort to STOP this stuff. Lawyers don't deserve any more than electricians- and really, the electrician does his job. So what if they went to a couple of years of law school. Believe me, it can't be that hard because most people who aren't smart enough to be in science are in law school. Thousands of them. This lawyer has also done NOTHING for Birkhead. Believe me - that isn't unusual. A lawyer can bill you and bill you and bill you and you will STILL not have what you went to them for. Where is the outrage at what the lawyers do to us? The huge percentages they take from personal injury claims - do juries understand just WHO they are making rich. Does your doctor charge you once you are well for having made you well? Well, Larry, welcome to what the legal system has done to America. You people praying for no medical expenses better be praying for no legal expenses! Oh but wait- if they bankrupt you, there is always THAT corrupt system to find yourself involved in!
