Jamie's lawyer is not a good lawyer.

0089-------------------------------------

(Monday. INT: apartment)

EB: So let me get this straight. An SUV hits your parked car, and your insurance company declines to pay out... just... because.
JH: Right.
EB: So you hire a lawyer from late night TV whose tagline is "you don't pay me, the insurance companies do!"
JH: Right.
---------------
EB: And your lawyer has you sign paperwork that gives him full control over how to handle the case.
JH: Right.
EB: And the insurance company offers to settle out of court for three grand, and he accepts on your behalf.
JH: Right.
---------------
EB: And your lawyer then takes ALL of that three grand as his fee, because that's the money from the insurance company, not from you.
JH: Right.
EB: And he proceeds to charge you an additional three hundred and forty-seven dollars in "processing fees", and that's somehow also not you paying him, despite the fact that he's the one doing the processing.
JH: Right.
---------------
EB: That's ridiculous! I think you've got a case to sue the law firm.
JH: I don't think you CAN sue a law firm, it'd be like trying to lick your own elbow.
