The attorney that I thought I was going to have called this evening and left a message. He said he took my case to the managing partners who said "no". Apparently MA has something called Charity Immunity. Basically. if you are a non-profit and are found negligent etc. you are only responsible for $20,000.00. That is not enough for a law firm to deal with.

I just don't understand how this is fair. These people can do anything they want to me and are not be held responsible be cause they are considered a "charity". Believe me-they are a business.

This news has really thrown me over the edge .
