Legal Reform – las vegas dui lawyers

The United States has seventy percent of the world’s las vegas dui lawyers but only five percent of the world’s population. U.S. industry spends billions of dollars annually on litigation costs and efforts to avoid liability. The US has thirty times more lawsuits than Japan, one of America’s primary trade competitors. Product innovation in America is drastically curtailed due to overwhelming liability concerns. My industry of healthcare delivery has costs that are spiraling out of sight, leaving many Americans underinsured or uninsured.  The cost of virtually every good and service has an increased cost, reflecting the cost of rampant litigation in this country.

Folks, we do not require healthcare reform, we required immediate legal reform in the United States.  If you want to see the US become competitive in the Global market, we must institute immediate legal reform.  US business is burdened with billions in unnecessary legal regulation and frivolous law suits.  If you desire to see your healthcare premiums decline dramatically, allow us to practice medicine and rid ourselves of the constant threat of litigation.

Remember Jin Nam Chung and Ki Chung in their dry cleaning business, Custom Cleaners, in Washington in 2007? The Chung’s were sued for $65 million over a lost pair of pants belonging to a contentious local judge.  How can one pair of pants possibly cost $65M?  The answer is our out of control legal system in the US.

How did we get in this mess?

The majority of our elected officials are attorneys. We are to blame for electing attorney to govern this nation.  We have now elected an attorney as President.  In the 109th Congress, 218 Members (160 Representatives, 58 Senators) list their occupation as law.  My native state of Wyoming has only one attorney elected to Congress.  One of our US Senators is an orthopedic surgeon.  The Wyoming Legislature is comprised of thirteen percent attorneys.  The same is sadly the composition of most state legislative bodies in the US.

According to the Wyoming Board of Medicine, Wyoming has 988 practicing physicians. Mr. Dover Sleeter of the Wyoming State Bar states that Wyoming has 1,885 active, practicing attorneys with a population of 500,000.

US law schools produce more graduates than medical, dental and veterinary schools combined.  The Judicial Branch now makes law instead of interpreting the law such as a Judge in California that recently ruled that all home schoolteachers had to be certified educators in order to teach their kids at home.  How did our Founding Fathers learn? By certified teachers?

Attorneys are experts at nothing.  They are not experts at business, finance, healthcare, mining, engineering, or education.  Attorneys are not even experts on the law.  For example, we hire a prestigious law firm in Denver that markets themselves as experts in healthcare.  We pay the firm, after a large retainer, $500 per hour to complete legal research on Stark Laws that we deal with on a daily basis.  After tens of thousands of fees for phone calls, postage, and paralegal, the firm tells us what we already know.

Attorneys provide no benefit to society other than redistribution of wealth.  Ponder this for a moment.  You and your spouse desire to divorce.  What does the legal profession immediately tell you to do?  Hire an attorney!  What value is an attorney in a divorce?  The couple has $100,000 in assets to be divided 50/50.  However, not with the legal profession.  Of the $100,000 you hire an over compensated attorney and you waste $25,000 so you have $75,000 to divide.  Who wins?  The attorney wins every time and they have done nothing but taken $25,000 that could have been divided among the two of you. In addition, God for Bid if there are children involved in the divorce.  Attorneys will file motion after motion to keep the cash register ringing while you pick up the tab.  All the money wasted on attorney fees could have benefited the kid’s college fund instead of your attorney’s college fund.

Fraudulent Billing

How do we address the millions in fraudulent billing by law firms each year?  Research indicates that fraudulent billing costs the consumer millions of dollars each year.  Why do we not have audits of law practices on billable hours?  Why are law firms not accountable?  Because our legislative bodies are comprised of attorneys that do not want their profession exposed.
