No, I'm Not Talking About Anyone In Particular,...


 I know these guys aren't law bloggers, because if they were, they would've been no help at all:
Missouri trial lawyers Daniel "Danny" Thomas and Jonathan Soper were recently honored for obtaining a $108 million verdict on behalf of a couple who lost their daughter because of the actions of a religious cult. 
The Missouri Lawyers Media award recognized the attorneys for obtaining the largest personal injury verdict in Missouri for 2012. This verdict was also the third-largest wrongful death verdict in the country last year. 
The Independence, Missouri-based attorneys work for the law firm Humphrey, Farrington & McClain and have developed a reputation for taking difficult cases that other firms won't touch. 
Danny Thomas says that he remembers when Gail and Darrell Mansfield came into his office and told him about the death of their 30-year-old daughter, Misty Horner. The upset couple told Danny that they had already been turned down by every other law firm in town. 
"I signed them on right away. I didn't hesitate," he said. "Obviously, I was worried about it, but nobody would fight for these people, and it sounds cliche, but that's really our job."
Bullshit. I'm convinced a lawyer's job isn't helping the helpless - what really makes a lawyer feel worthwhile - is to advise conservatives on how to lose elections, advancing feminism and the gay agenda, plus, seeing how much they can get out of people who make less through Amazon.com:

Or, at least, that's what I've been led to understand,...
