Argument in Favor of Proposition 207

Arguments on this page are the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy by any official agency.


KEEP YOUR CONTINGENCY FEE PROTECTION.

Nobody wants to be forced to hire a lawyer. But a contingent fee lawyer can give you a fighting chance against corporations and insurance company lawyers.

Lobbyists for multi-million dollar corporations and insurance companies give money to politicians. They want to change the law so that consumers can't hire a contingency fee attorney.

Yes on Proposition 207 keeps consumers' contingency fee protections in place until the voters--not the politicians-- change them.

PROPOSITION 207 PUNISHES BAD LAWYERS.

Proposition 207 was written by responsible consumer attorneys who protect people from stock swindlers, insurance companies and manufacturers of dangerous products. It punishes the bad lawyers without taking away consumers' contingency fee protections.

Yes on Proposition 207 is your chance to punish the lawyers who file frivolous lawsuits.

NO FEES FOR FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS.

Frivolous lawsuits are no joke. They hurt consumers and retired people who have good cases. Yes on Proposition 207 takes all the fees away from a lawyer when a judge rules that their lawsuit or defense is frivolous.

THREE STRIKES AND THEY'RE OUT.

Just like some criminals who never learn, there are irresponsible lawyers who should be put out of business. Yes on Proposition 207 punishes irresponsible lawyers who file three frivolous lawsuits--they can lose their license.

GOOD FOR THE GOOSE.
GOOD FOR THE GANDER.

There are irresponsible lawyers on both sides. Often insurance company lawyers file frivolous motions to delay legitimate cases.

Yes on Proposition 207 punishes irresponsible lawyers no matter which side they are on.

STOP FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS.
KEEP YOUR CONTINGENCY FEE PROTECTION.
VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 207.
