In a Settlement of price-fixing charges against cosmetics manufacturers and retailers, lawyers got $24 million, and each customer got a free cosmetic. (San Francisco Chronicle, July 19)<br /><br />Thats one reason I've never sued, don't seem worth it to me..
Of course I elected not to sue myself but they apparently received enough signatures to pursue.<br /><br />What I learned is that these sleeze ball law firms actually have software and people hired to search the internet for such key words as "Earnings Restatement" they do a little research, a couple hundred bucks for a press release etc, and before ya know it, they've got themselves some business. This is the sad reality of these law firms. Absolutely no regard whatsoever for anyone but themselves... they are literaly scavengers preying off the mistakes and misfortunes of others.
