I demand you read this!

There is more than one problem with Mark Hillman's Denver Post column published yesterday. (Trial Lawyer Hypocrisy Act.)

One, however, really jumps out. Twice he writes how plaintiff attorneys can "demand up to 40 percent" of the eventual recovery.

How does that "demand" work?

Circle K can "demand" consumers spend $5.00 for a "fun size" Snickers. So what? Ain't nobody gonna be meeting that demand.

I can "demand" Sandra Bullock's appearance at dinner. That demand ain't gonna be met either.

People that have been injured by the someone else's negligence have a wide selection of attorneys from which to choose to represent them. Almost none will hire an attorney who "demands" 40 percent. It is called a "free market," something Republicans usually extol the virtues of.
