COLOR OF LAW

LAWYER EXCUSES

​CANNOT HELP YOU
 
Excuses that were given by lawyers for not wanting to represent this case:
 
They don’t practice employment law.
They don’t practice in the state of Missouri.
They don’t practice Constitutional law.
They don’t deal with health / medical matters.
They don’t deal with religious matters.
Their case load is too full.
This would jeopardize their firm because of optics.
This case is against an association.
This is not a class action lawsuit.
They won’t make any money.
Employment cases do not return a suitable ROI unless it’s a class action lawsuit.
The case is unprecedented and does not follow a prescribed formula.
It will take too much time considering their case load.
Mandates are “too political.”
Firm represents employers, not employees.
Does employment law; but specializes in workers comp and liability.
Does employment law, but only accepts “standard cases.”
Not taking any cases regarding face coverings and injections.
Not taking any cases involving “mandates.”
Not the “right kind” of case.
Received generic letter back stating NO with no substantive explanation.
Not taking cases where there isn’t enough case law, and this is too new.
No response at all.
Cannot do it, and a lawyer will only do it as a consulting agreement for a fee to assist with Pro Se, Self-Representation . . . but no lawyer agreed to these terms (nor is it even possible with the current financial position).
No reason provided.  Just “good luck!”
No reason provided.  Just advised to find a different attorney.
 
 
Then came perhaps the most honest answer after calling every lawyer I could find:
 
Them: “You will not be able to find an attorney to represent this case because it’s too high risk, [even for a firm like ours that specializes in Constitutional and First Amendment law].  They will only agree to consult with you for a fee, and their goal will be settlement.” 
My question: “Would you be willing to do this for a fee?”  
Their answer: “No, but good luck!”
