The suit Lynch v. FCA

E-mail Print PDF
I am an attorney member of the Funeral Consumer's Alliance and I encourage most of my clients to join. I do not intend to spend too much time discussing precedent, procedural and substantive law involved in this suit, since I have clients paying me to do that at my "desk job." The legal papers are available for anyone to read on the PACER system (computerized docket) at the Federal District courts. Rest assured FCA members, this lawsuit is not going anywhere. Do not let it distract you from the FCA mission or goals. If I thought it had any chance of success, I would volunteer my time for the cause. I understand the FCA has retained counsel and I know the attorney has the competency to handle this expeditiously on his own.
