More seriously, how much is this widow worth and what did she do that would lead to a $600 claim? I have said on here many times that there are many legally meritorious claims that should not be filed. But I’d like a few more facts. Because, after all, Leona Helmsley and Imelda Marcos were widows with children, too.

And I think when you are giving a moral lecture, throwing in the whole “I’ll charge you nothing” is pretty condescending.

That said, nice job on the Gettysburg Address. That was the bomb.
