Time for Flat Rate Attorney Fees?

I find it rather interesting that the self appointed governing body and regulators of the free world (lawyers) have been quite successful at placing set fees for medical procedures, medical tests, medical equipment, etc. Why then do they have no desire to have their own fees regulated? Are they afraid fleecing will become a thing of the past?

Let's face it ... a divorce is a divorce. Go sit in on any divorce case and they are all the same. Oh sure, the names, dates, and places change ... but the rest of it is boilerplate law. This one cheated on that one. The other one didn't bring the kids back when they were supposed to. Then one of them threatens the other ... and it is the same old story over and over.

Why not live by the regulations and fee structures the attorneys of this great land have placed on physicians. It's pretty simple stuff.

Simple Divorce $750
