Mrs Anderson our firm is very small just three attorneys. We can only take so many cases at once. and we have to be choosy because frankly we can't afford to lose We pay everything We only get paid if we win or settle. I know You want an apology. And I'd love to get you that apology but from who. Who is going to apologize to you and pay me. There has to be a defendant with very deep pockets. This is not an inexpensive case to try.

You know I'd make a point of taking an hour or so. away from all the noise and insanity I should do that. I'd find a place that was relatively quiet and peaceful. have a sandwich read a magazine Maybe listen to a game if one was on. I'd make sure everyone knew not to disturb me during that hour. Because that would be my time my own private time. which no one if they had any sense of self preservation would dare interrupt
