During the course of the past 6 months I have communicated
with a number of law firms specializing in (consumer) class
action issues in regards to a matter I am exploring which
involves a very prominent mass retailer. I will serve as
the class plaintiff if the matter moves forward.

A principal from one of these firms concurs with my
assessment that many class action suits are falling through
the cracks and is interested in structuring a web site that
elicits input from the masses, but maintains he has an
extremely limited budget to pursue the venture. This was
an unexpected revelation in light of the SUBSTANTIAL
proceeds these law firms receive when a class action case
is settled........typcially 25 to 33% percent. Yes, their
expenses are considerable but they are in the position to
accept only those cases which they are virtually assured
the defendant will make a settlement offer, and I
understand the majority of class action cases are settled.

I am interested in communicating with parties who are in
the position to contribute services (legal,web site design,
advertisment/promotion funding) in exchange for referral
fees. I have been led to believe law offices are permitted
to submit referral fees which are not based on a percentage
of their fee arrangment.
