Re: doctor do-little
You indicate that you have an attorney. It would improper for anyone here to back seat drive where your attorney is concerned. If you have retained counsel, direct your questions to him. It is discourteous to your attorney to ask other attorneys to assist you, and if an attorney knows you are represented and attempts to make some form of representation your behalf, he essentially violates the rules of professional conduct.
