A plaintiff lawyer goes missing after settling a malpractice suit against his client's wishes

Apparently he pocketed the settlement and jumped town.

“”I’m trying to sue Davidson personally because I have no other choice,” LaBeaux, 42, said earlier this month. “Now he’s gone.”"
She’s trying to sue the Human piece of shit sodomite in his ballpark. She ought to consult the Chance Brothers: Slim & None!
Obviously she told everyone she did the lawsuit so “this will never happen to another patient again”. So the money shouldn’t matter.

True, it is a bum deal for the plaintiff. But this lawyer’s wrongful acts, if allowed to result in a reinstated suit against the plaintiff, would also harm the plaintiff. The defendant was harmed by an agent of the plaintiff; who then pays the defendants damages?

Just because her lawyer robbed her doesn’t mean the defendant ought to have to pay twice. She hired the lawyer and now alleges he cheated her. A settlement is a settlement; her grievance is with her lawyer.
Any reinstatement is an abomination.
Welcome to sleazy lawyering, hope you enjoy the ride. That kind of stuff happens all the time in mass-tort litigation where you even have to elect not to be included in the plaintiff class (vice electing into that class) Often the settlements are a pittance for the class members and full value (or more)for the lead counsel.
