Advice to law firm management:
Give people at least some of their money so they wontvrun to the feds. I'm glad I didn't get thrown under the bus, the harris beach lawyers blamed it on the paralegals.

Pros:
Harris Beach Attorneys were stealing people's lawsuit money so I resigned to stay out of trouble with the feds.

Cons:
They got themselves into more trouble than what it's worth. I'm glad I resigned was ahead of time before the feds rated their offices.
