<p>"" I think just the opposite, mom2collegekids. Plaintiff’s attorneys out there now have an easier time explaining the situation to their clients. All the lawyers have to do is point to the Snays, and tell their clients if the clients want to keep the settlement money, they must keep their mouths shut. Most people, on seeing their big bucks potentially slip away, will figure out how not to talk-- as most people have historically done in comparable situations.</p>
<p>If I’m sitting in the room, hammering out a deal with the people I’m suing, and they say, you can have $80,000 if you keep your mouth shut, I’ll find a way to zip my lip. “”"</p>
<p>I totally agree that the Snay Family will become the poster child for such situations. And hopefully plaintiffs will also think this thru and realize that it’s one thing to expect secrecy in regards to money amounts, but it’s ridiculous for plaintiffs to act as if a settlement and/or agreement was never reached. </p>
