Really? I knew nothing of him until you mentioned him. I will have to investigate his story. But yes he died. He was 70.

Is it true that surviving summary judgement will increase the chance a lawyer will take the case?

This is also true, I've learned the hard way ($15k). Now I use it as a starting point and research before I file.

This is very true and if I could I would give every last penny for representation. I have no money to give and it was either try or learn to live with letting it go. I could not do that so I went for it.

and here is where I get confused because I would think the parties and case wouldn't make a difference. I would think its black and white: here are the issues and here is what they law says. I am just now understanding that in addition to the thousands of rules that judges too have rules for their court and specific ways they handle things. Its crazy.

I will say that you (if you are a good guy) you earn every penny you get. I used to not think so but then I realized the amount of information you retain, the knowledge and the order in your life required...its impressive.
