Copyvio removal[edit]

This article contained the text of two articles written by an attorney named Richard Klass. Mr. Klass's web site asserts a copyright in these articles, and permission to copy them has not been explicitly granted, so per WP:C I have removed them. PubliusFL 21:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personal essay-like material removed[edit]

I removed the following because it is written in part like a personal opinion piece:

You can sue your attorney for malpractice under cause of action entitled "negligence" or fraud. However, there are different cause of action according to the State you live in..in some States you can Sue the Opposing Attorney. In Pennsylvania you can sue the other party's attorney for Violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct..but you must list the "causes of action" as ABUSE OF PROCESS or fraud or "tortious interference with contractual relations or prospective enrichment" An excellent source for law on this is Alex Long's article in the Georgetown journal of Legal Ethics..google it. If more people would sue opposing attorneys we would have less legal corruption.

However, some of this may be salvageable, so please feel free to work as much back into the article as can be properly sourced. Note that suits against the opposing attorney would likely be for Abuse of process or the like, not for malpractice. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:50, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
