July Muni Payout: $58,437.75

Muni continues to put food on lawyers' tables: we're up to $538,686.33 in claims since February. The big case this month was settled for about $40,000, but we can't look up the details because it's unlitigated. The other two cases seem unremarkable -- fourteen thousand, also unlitigated, and six thousand for a bus driver whose driving knocked a disabled person off her feet.

But can we just say -- what is up with the law offices of Aspelin and Brigman? Not only does their initial complaint misspell their client's name, but it contains weird run-on sentences and grammatical gems such as "As a result Plaintiff fall." Did they hire Caveman Lawyer?
