Quality legal representation, like quality health care, is beyond the reach of the average American. And like health problems, when a serious legal problem is faced it can devastate someone and render them bankrupt. Their families can face insurmountable debts to defend themselves against unjust lawsuits or face succumbing to those lawsuits.
Insurance is available but not required. And the public defenders are often substandard in the quality of representation delivered.
The only solution would be for all Americans to be covered under a National Legal Representation Plan. One that required all Americans to have insurance and had a single payer system in place to provide not only active legal representation but also preventative legal advice. To standardize the legal positions of each American and allow equity in the legal system that currently is only available to the rich and to those that are insured.
Like the Oil Industry and Health care System, the greed of attorneys HAS to be brought to bear by the Federal Government. Each of has been impacted by such horror stories and each of us is at risk of falling victim to this predatory and under regulated system.
Every American DESERVES quality legal representation and it's about time our government recognize that.
