on a serious note Dueller why isn't it common practice for atty's to file two lawsuits; one for the atty and one for the client? the issue of course being that the client gets to put the entire award on their tax return and the payment to the atty (say 1/3) gets put on the sch. a which gets phased out once dollars get big.

Not sure I follow you, Beretta. I guess my "legalese" answer would be that atty has no standing to sue the tortfeasor. In other words in the GGW case, scumbag filmmaker didn't do anything to the atty. The atty is only present to represent as an advocate for the victim.

Anyways, tax law was my worst subject in law school. So bad that I promised my tax professor I would never give tax advice if she would let me out of the class with a :C". She did and I don't.
