McClain reportedly signed a five-year, $40-million contract, with $23.5 million of that guaranteed. Did that help make him a target for a lawyer such as Allan Armstrong? Apparently so.
Personal Note: This story hits close to home because Mrs. Schnauzer and I made the colossal mistake of hiring Armstrong and his compadre, Darrell Cartwright, to represent us in two cases related to abusive debt collectors. Somewhat to our credit, we did not seek out Armstrong and Cartwright. We only became aware of them when Cartwright contacted me after reading several posts on my blog about debt-collection issues.
Armstrong and Cartwright proceeded to undermine our case in several ways. I will provide detailed descriptions of their actions in future posts. But for now, let's say I was motivated to investigate them--and I came up with some pretty horrifying information, especially regarding Armstrong.
In fact, his record of lawlessness goes well beyond the realm of driving. We soon will be reporting on Armstrong's various run-ins with the law, and it's likely to leave you asking this question, "How in the world is this guy an officer of the court? How does he still have a bar card?"
Court records also show that Armstrong has experienced significant financial difficulties in recent years. That might help explain why he helped cheat my wife and me--and why he is going after Rolando McClain. Much more on that also is coming at Legal Schnauzer.
For now, the lawsuit Allan Armstrong filed against Rolando McClain--when viewed in light of Armstrong's own driving record--presents a classic example of the hypocrisy that seems to permeate the legal profession.
