don't forget that the US is the home of: 1) the contingency fee. lawyers can take a case for no retainer and scoop a largish percentage of any winnings (but get nothing if they lose). this ensures that few who have a case that's worth any money will go unrepresented. and, contingency fees lead to, 2) insanely huge damages sought by lawyers in front of juries (american lawyers love juries, because they'll award much higher amounts than judges alone). the upshot of all this is that he'll not want for representation. <g> -frank -frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
