Uh, no. C'mon Larry -- you are more thoughtful then that. Most of the lawyers I know work down in the trenches for 'paydays' that are measured in the thousands, not millions. Not too many are in the business of going after large corporations.

And think about it -- large corporations can hire teams of the best attornies. So it's an uphill battle trying to beat them in court. You need to know you have a pretty strong case for it to be worth the hundreds of thousands of dollars it could take to litigate.

Next thing we know you will be claiming Danika is studying to be a lawyer in her free time
