I was local counsel for TLPJ in some class actions in Mississippi some years ago. TLPJ would intervene and try to make things a little better for the actual class members so I know of what I speak. Meanwhile, other attorneys were jumping in representing objectors so that they could get lucrative side deals. These cases are all about generating attorneys fees. It makes me sick just to think about it.
