Bill Leininger – Divorce Mediation Attorney – Richmond County, NY
So, I went to law school, and I went into family law because I wanted to help people. And to see what we were doing, lawyers were intentionally or inadvertently, depending upon how bad of a human being they were, they wanted to pour salt on the wounds to make money.
At that time, I’ll never forget, we had a very aggressive attorney on Staten Island, and I called him up. I said, “Bob, don’t you think this case has lingered long enough now? It’s about a year old. Can’t we settle this case?”
And he said to me, “I can’t settle the case now.”
Why?
And I said, “why, Bob?”
And he said, “my, my deck has to be paid for out in the Hamptons on Long Island.”
