Will the guy get a quarter or a dime?

Dear Homeless Guy,
Be VERY WARY of an attorney trying to 'give' you money! Watch what you sign... or else tomorrow he might own your refrigerator box.

Fixed that for you.

Maybe it's because I have to deal with lawyers on a frequent basis as part of my job and such close interaction has biased me against them, but... well, you can't buy publicity like this...
Or can you?
You should never, ever believe what a lawyer presents to you on the surface. They always, always, ALWAYS have a second- and probably third-tier motive they aren't letting on to you. Most of them are too clever by half, and it makes me suspicious of everything they say and do.
Any business managers who have had dealings with lawyers will back me up on this, I assure you. As soon as they become involved in anything, the only people making a dime are the lawyers.
So maybe this situation is legit and and I'm being too paranoid. But I've seen them pull slimier shit than using a homeless man to construct a scenario which will create goodwill towards themselves. A lot slimier.
All that said, I'm sure there are honest lawyers out there -- and I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to both of them.

Nice story. Bet he was tempted. Wonder what his demons are in his reason for how he became homeless? Typically it's alcohol, drugs, depression or mental illness with economics being dead last.

@ American Veteran; aaawwww, come on. It must be worth at least a couple of bucks. And as for honest lawyers? An endangered species.
