The D.C. Examiner reports that the attorney for the owners of the dry cleaning business victimized by Roy Pearson’s frivolous lawsuit is organizing a fundraiser to pay some of their legal fees:
The Korean dry cleaners forced to spend thousands of dollars defending themselves against a $54 million lawsuit by a local judge over a pair of lost pants will get help paying legal bills at an upcoming fund-raiser.
Attorney Chris Manning of Manning & Sossamon, who represented Jin, Soo and Ki Chung, has launched a website, chungfundraiser.com and announced plans to host a fund-raising event for the Chungs on Tue, July 24.
On the website, the Chungs also ask for cash donations to the Custom Cleaners Defense Fund which is being handled by Manning’s law firm.
Frankly, I think it’s absurd that these people have to worry about asking other people for money to cover expenses that Pearson should be paying himself.
