  1. Congratulations to Corri Fetman! She has succeeded in reducing the practice of law from an honorable profession to the level of a minimum wage drive-thru burger joint. Her next stop will most likely be the Maury Povich TV show. There is no wonder why Americans have such low opinions of lawyers. A recent poll shows that only 24% of Americans trust lawyers.
