Due to political pressures the attorney named above is the only one who would even talk to me about this
case and his office is over 185 miles one way from my home. He reviewed my case and told me that since
the recovery would be limited that he would have to charge me $300.00 per hour to work on the case. At
those rates I would have to sell my home and become a burden on society.
