Mr Schiff,
I've been recently thinking about a potential new approach to the problem. And I have an offer/idea for You that I assume You might be interested in.
At present You and us clients went a bit separate ways. Dont get me wrong. Im not blaming You. I know in the end everyone plays for themselves and charity and responsibility has its limits.
Lets be honest. At present You are the only one who is actively fighting the situation but for Your benefit mostly and indirectly for the benefit of the clients. Again, no blame here. I know how world works.
BUT, what if there was a scenario where You would lead the customers case against the OCIF/Qenta/IRS or︀ whoever is responsible ( to be determined ) and actually have a business in that?︁
My proposition is as follows. You allready paying for the lawyers that are familiar with︂ the case. I assume extending the scope of their work a little wouldnt increase the︃ cost linearly, let alone exponentially.
Would it increase the ammount of work? Sure, to some︄ degree. Most clients cases are fairly similar I assume.
Hell, maybe Your lawyers would even︅ agree to extend the work scope for some success fee. The success fee taken from︆ the potential compensation for the clients.
I assume most of us like me would gladly︇ give lets say half of the compensation in return for someone really taking care of︈ the situation. And lets be honest, compensations in US courts are huge.
You got the︉ database of the clients, I assume You are allowed to contact them. Most probably would︊ go for a deal like that. At lest I would. Im gonna ask few dosens︋ people on closed groups about EPB, what they think about such scenario and Ill get︌ back here with the results but Im confident this will suit most. You got some︍ papers signed with Qenta and OCIF. Yeah, but You would rather act as case manager︎ rather then a side so I dont think those apply.
So, benefits for You?
Money - the way You would share the success fee with Your lawyers is the only️ question You would have to consider. You are confident about Your win and thus the win for the clients should be on similar level of uncertainty.
PR - well, You took a hit with the EPB situation when it comes to PR so I imagine this would be an epic comeback if You care about it and it seems You care a lot.
Benefits for clients?
Someone really fighting for the case as lets be honest this are potential huge money at stake to win.
So, would You be potentially interested in such scenario?
