MiR do you see the family's lawyer as a good Samaritan helping under represented groups? Do you see him as an honest and plain dealer?
What the eff is this? I see Benjamin Crump as an attorney donating his time, thousands of lawyers do it everyday. Why the eff are we talking about this?
kinda out of context at this point. better set in the 'is he or isn't he an opportunist' deal. and the questions are pretty benign and just meant to find out how you feel about this guy.
I think of him the same way I think of any professional that's donating their time. Feel free to let me know why anyone should think otherwise. I'm interested to know why he is a discussion point, I didn't bring him up.
Never said you brought him up. It did seem like you were defending him pretty vivaciously in my opinion. More to my question's point, I was trying to find out if you think he is doing this out of altruistic value to the under represented groups in the US, agree that it was professional self promotion, or purely an ambulance chaser of a lawyer.
I make it a point not to question the motives of someone who provides thousands of dollars of goods or services to someone for free that generally wouldn't be able to get these services. I don't care if he's doing it for publicity for his practice or not, nor should anyone else.
Post-racial America, a black man is asked to justify the motives of another black man making the choice to help other black people
I am absolutely sure that this is the first and last conversation on this board with posters openly questioning the motives of an attorney doing pro-bono work, amazing.
