For what it's worth, I would say that 80% of the attorneys I know are good people (and I know a lot of attorneys).

There is a kind of standard speech that I give clients who come to me with issues like yours, OE. I will tell people that the legal system is not set up to give you satisfaction. It isn't set up to give you justice. As your attorney, I cannot get either of those things for you. I cannot even get you an apology no matter much you deserve it. What I can get you -- what the system is set up to give you -- is money and a resolution, eventually. That's it. That's all I can get you. If what you want is closure, I always recommend that people go to counseling. If what you want is an apology or some resolution with your opposing party, you can try mediation, but regular litigation isn't going to get you there.

OE, I really hope this situation resolves itself as quickly as possible for you. I will be thinking of you.
