Well, plaintiffs can and do conduct their cases on their own, pro se, and they are often as stupid as this one.

In addition, lawyers must follow their clients wishes, and I can tell you that many, many times, clients want to prosecute suits against the advice of their attorneys. That kind of litigious climate is the real problem, not lawyers wanting to earn a living like everyone else.

Yes, I agree there are problems with the system, but I'm sure glad the system is in place. Are there abusers of the system? Sure, absolutely, but there are as many greedy plaintiffs out there as are greedy lawyers.
