Yes, after working as a dba for a law firm and discovering that I was the administrator for thousands of lawsuits against tobacco companies. In many cases the victim had already died of lung cancer and the suit was being brought by family members. Many of the families’ income was near poverty level. At the same time, the law firm was in a plush nyc office building. I spent day after day feeling like I wanted to throw up and finally quit.
- barbarr 1y agoWait, what about it made you want to throw up? Was it that the proceeds from lawsuits were being garnished by the law firm rather than going towards the families?
- jjj123 1y agoIs it not assumed that they were defending the tobacco companies?
- barbarr 1y agoohhh, yea I terribly misread that
- tailspin2019 1y agoFwiw I read it the same way as you!
- andersco 1y agoYes, thanks for the clarification. One of this law firm’s main clients was one of the big tobacco companies. Also this was in the mid 90s before the big tobacco settlements.
