R.I.P. Bobo, We miss you!
Thats nonsense. Do you really believe this STATE is so big that the attorney's from St. Mary's County don't know the attorney's from P.G. or Calvert? An attorney's responsibility is to their client. In most of these cases, the fee's for the attorney is contingent on the money received from the claim against the defendant. Do you think because an attorney is "friends" with an attorney from the board of Ed...they wouldn't properly and aggressively defend their own interests?
A lot of agreements are made on the golf course, so to say that it never happens? I agree that it is not the norm but over the years I've heard some stories. Surprisingly some of the lawyers she has called say they won't take on these cases. I did a search on court records and was surprised to see that a lot of cases were indeed taken on by lawyers outside of the counties. All this information has been great and I appreciate the feedback.
