Lawyers have no Morals?

Okay, so I was reading a Providence Journal article online about the station nightclub fire and how much the Lawyers are receiving for all their work. Out of about the 180 million dollars the Lawyers are getting an estimated 53 million or something around that number give or take a few million. Then I saw this comment from this guy saying "this is why people hate lawyers....they have no morals". Naturally I got heated since Law is the profession I am studying. Now yes 53 million of the 180 million is a great deal of money what the guy who wrote that comment forgot to realize how much of the lawyers own money they had to front in order to get experts in various fields to examine what exactly happened and testify. Some of the lawyers, and there was a group of them, where giving out as much as 1.5 million of their own money to get these experts so these victims could see something out of it. That money needs to be repayed to them which is included in that 53 million that they are taking. These guys don't work for free either. They have spent years now on this case. Why should they not get payed for the great job they did in getting these victims as much as their getting? Each kid under 18 is getting something around 200,000 dollars. While yes that doesn't seem like much and it doesn't replace the person they lost, but its still something. 200,000 pays off their college tuition and gives them enough money to support themselves when they decide to do whatever with their lives. My whole point is this, why make such a stupid comment when you ignored a good portion of the facts. No morals would have been if the lawyers didn't get those experts and lost the case. Here is another piece of advice for all of you out there who hate lawyers with a passion, the next time something happens to you and you need legal advice or legal assistance do it yourself and see how the outcome would turn out. There is a reason you hire lawyers just as you do an electrician, plumber, or mechanic, becasue they get the job done and they get you something rather than nothing.
