I’m not so sure your site was an “inadvertant” searchee.  You do cover life insurance, don’t you?
Nonetheless, along with your #1 Google rank for “catholic libertarian,” it is clear that a tort et a travers has already made its mark in the Web and search engine universe.  I’m impressed.

In re: Tisk. I have my own TISK–#1 ranked on google, mysearch, msn, & yahoo for “great places to die.” My mother is so proud.

No, I wasn’t asking you to defend Lawyer C.  I was just amplifying on my original riff, inspired by your comment. 
I was thinking about non-elective medical treatment and bonuses — many divorces are non-elective.

Have I suddenly been placed into the position of defending Mr. Cohen’s Success Bonus? David, you sneaky lawyer you.

The Success Bonus is vile and idiotic, which is why, in addition to questioning the moral character of Mr. Cohen, I also question the intelligence of his wealthy clients. If a doctor were to charge a client $200,000 for cosmetic surgery, and upon completion, ask for a Success Bonus, my comments would be exactly identical.

Should fiduciaries (even matrimonial lawyers) put clients (even wealthy ones) in the position of looking like suckers (for paying bloated hourly fees) or cheapskates (for not handing over a bonus)? 
What would lawyers say if medical doctors started asking for Success Bonuses?

Re Gary Cohen: that is outrageous. And I refuse to believe the hype about how “good” he is. That kind of hype is more often media-driven or the result of successful marketing, rather than based on reality. With at least 240 cases on his docket and opposing counsel complaining that they can’t even sit down with him on a Sunday to discuss settlement, I doubt he’s all that. But hey, if wealthy clients are willing to be suckered in to the hype and they respond to this marketing pitch knowing how much it’s going to cost them… should we feel sorry for them?
