I believe I have a good legal case but can't find an attorney in the D.C. area who will take it. They all seem to be saying. "It costs too much to pursue". Thoughts? References?

I was told that the reason the attorneys don't take cases anymore is because

the Federal court judge in the class action lawsuit limited the liability of

the manufactures to local injuries ONLY. No other symtems and or illnesses

count in the court room. One problem is you have three years to file, but

the granulomas, local injuries usually donn't appear for many years later.

The fact that the residual silicone is undetectable even with x-rays means

that we have all been forced to have our cases heard BEFORE the real local

damage even had a chance to present itself. Completely unfair. When I went

to court the first time the granulomas didn't show. Two years later they

did. It makes a huge difference to the manufactures. If you can't prove your

case you can't win. Besides it cost at least 250,000 to try one of these

cases and most states have a cap of 250,000 so even if you did win what

would you win , barely enough to pay for the court costs. Lana

Dearest Beth and Jeanne:

Please do not get to stressed over this. The day will come when lawyers will realize that we need help. Please contact every lawyer that you can think of and call them. I had a list of lawyers back in 1993 and I called everyone of them....finally one took my case. Love you both.....Lea
