MAY I CLEAR SOMETHING UP? I'm no fan of lawyers but the majority of them are not stupid or dishonest.
Let me explain:
All lawyers must pass the bar in the state[s] in which they wish to practice in. If the lawyer is not licensed to practice in a particular state, he can still do so by aligning himself with a firm or a lawyer who is. This is done everyday and ones just needs to file w/ the court to be admitted for the case. This is called Pro Hoc Vice.
Sam if he wants too can pick any lawyer registered to practice in the US. So, the excuse that Sam is picking non-registered Delaware lawyers does not hold water. There has got to be something more.
Here's my guess. Most lawyers worth their salt will evaluate a case based upon several factors, such as how they are getting paid, [which by the way is the most important factor], is the case winnable, will it piss off the judge for being frivolous etc. etc,
For argument sake, let's assume that Sam is not awash in cash... he owes other parties at least 250K. If he doesn't have the necessary funds to pay the lawyers he is pretty much screwed. Very few attorneys, unless they are nuts or publicity seekers will take on such a client. Don't be misled, contingency representation only happens if you have a sure winner, and they are only in insurance cases where there is eventually a money settlement. Contingency representation doesn't just happen.
As a consequence, i hope our Sam is broke and what we are seeing is that "no ticket... no shirt." We can all hope. GLTA
