There's a simply way to prevent those few lawyers who deliberately steal from clients. These folks figure out a good scheme to steal millions...and they usually get away with it for long enough to devastate the clients they steal from.
There's a simple solution and its called
payee notification in Virginia. Amazingly, some lawyers in Virginia oppose this consumer protection statute.
You'll have to ask them why.
I'd invite them to "join the conversation" at this blog and express their opinions as to why Virginia should not enact payee notication now.
