Yes, The attorneys from DM are certainly experts but they also have an inherent conflict of interest. This is due to the fact that since they get paid on contigency basis they want to minimize their costs. In the case of Sammy at the very most they might have spent $100K. They enjoyed, thereforte, a terrific rare of return if they got $1.2mill. But how about us? Our interests and theirs (DM) are on opposite sides.

DB, they messed it up and you may admit it. And No fluff from you or anybody else will ease the burden the management has to carry. It is a clear application of Peter's Principle. Peace.
