New Podcast with Attorney Mark Zamora, aka blogger, A Georgia Lawyer

Attorney Mark Zamora of Atlanta, Georgia joined host Mark Wahlstrom for an edition of Civil Action Radio last week to discuss the "Crazy Pants" lawsuit that made a lot of headlines a few weeks back. You can read his blog by clicking here and getting up to speed on the many issues he blogs about.  Mark is also one of the founders of the Trial Lawyer Resource Center, which can be accessed by clicking here.

As you may recall this is the story of the lawyer who decided to bring suit against his dry cleaner for losing his favorite pair of pants, all with the headline of demands for millions in damages due to the pain and anguish of the loss of his pants. The popular press and tort reform advocates of course jumped all over this story, profiling the plight of the dry cleaner in dealing with this attorney. This is of course used as another example of abusive legal process and why we need to rein in law suits and enact tort reform.

In this podcast Mark Zamora discusses the aftermath of the case, the unreported aspects of the story and the troubled history of this attorney. Rather then just letting the story go unchallenged, he instead suggests that trial lawyers at the state and national level actively and quickly move to refute these headlines and point out that this is a rogue lawyers and is as emblematic of all trial lawyers as the one drunk pilot is representative of all commercial pilots.
