HALA GORES, Biography
I am drawn to the civil justice system and in particular to the
representation of catastrophically injured people because it is a place
where the legal system is open to both rich and poor. The contingent fee
system, which allows a plaintiff to hire an attorney without paying a
fee unless and until the lawyer wins the case, affords justice to the
poorest among us - Hala Gores, Esq.
