AMAZING lawyer story

I HAVE to tell you something that happened to my cousin with TWO lawyers!

This very strange thing happened to his girlfriend. Her former employee used her picture in a major national advertising campaign without her consent and without having paid her a dime. They decided they would sue her former employee and went to a lawyer. They went to his brother's friend, who happened to be a lawyer, who changed them $150. Not too bad, I would say. Two weeks later, without having done anything, he called them up and told them he was too inexperienced to handle the case and that he would recommend another friend of his, who was an very experienced (and older) lawyer - BAD NEWS!! They went to this other lawyer who told them they have a 96% chance of winning the case, but that the lawsuit would cost them $4,000 for which they would have to prepay $1,000. They innocently paid.

IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS AND THEY HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM HIM!!

Lawyers... So my cousin called him up yesterday and told him, "hey, dude, what's up with you and why are you disappearing on us? In five day, the festival is over and there will be no point in suing anymore..."

In any case, to make a long story short, the lawyer told him a major BS story, that he had changed his "strategy" (WHATEVER!) and hadn't told him what his new plan was because he wanted him to act "natural" around the former employee (they had met earlier that day). Doesn't this tell us something about lawyers? I have to tell you I was pretty shocked...
