So what did you just read Grisham's King of Torts and decide to come on here and anonymously claim to be a player in class actions? A large class action is not going to be lead by a 29 year old. The main players are going to be older established plaintiff's attorneys that can sign up the clients in the class. So, unless you are have a family member or really close family friend that is already a player I am not buying it. And really am not buying it when you suddenly claim that you do.

Also, in a class action you don't split the fees down the middle. You break it up based on the number of clients you bring into the class. Also, the fees in class actions are generally around 40% instead of the regular 33%. I doubt you would even know how to get a class certified.

Besides GW fool, you know not what you talk about and you've read too many novels. There is no need to sign up lots of clients in a class action. All you actually need is one client who has claims or damages that are representative of many. And it is actually preferred to include only one named plaintiff in a class action. The reason for this is when you start naming more than one class representative, you risk the chance that the individual claimants claims/situations will contradict each other --- which will result in the judge denying your class action b/c there would not be common issues between the putative class members.

You raised the money issue, not me If you don't believe me, put your money where your mouth is and you'll soon find out. If you have such a stash, it shouldnt be a problem, should it? if not shut the frick up.

Pretty stout for a second-year attorney (who's still working) to make this claim. Do tell us how you did this.

Sorry, but I haven't read too many novels. Instead I went to a top 20 law school. But, poor me I am just a lowly intellectual property attorney, not a big time class action lawyer despite only being 30. I brought up the novel because your story sounds like the concept of the novel, where an insider or as you prefer a "whistleblower" brings info on a pharma company making a bad drug setting up the guy to sign up clients and file class actions.

A whistleblower is not going to be a member of a class, unless for some reason they are taking the medication. So then you would have to parlay this information into clients to join the class who have actually been exposed to the drug. Also, if someone has this type of information they are likely going to a well known plaintiff's attorney with a reputation for class actions, not a "green" attorney.

But keep your e-badass story going from the anonymity of your compute. I mean calling someone a "fig" and other names on a message board really screams successful class action attorney. Enjoy your ficticious fortune.
