Do Crooked Lawyers Lack Compassion?

The blog Courthouse News Service is reporting on a story out of Dallas this week in which a personal injury lawyer has met with some legal trouble of his own. Thomas Corea of Palmer, TX is charming enough to have been the host of a call-in TV show for the past few years. They also say he's facing charges that he stole money from one or more clients.

You're sometimes in a vulnerable position when you consult a personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles. At The Law Offices of Burg & Brock, we take client trust seriously.

It wouldn't be prudent, legally or otherwise, for us to make any allegations, implied or otherwise, of a charge that still has not seen its day in court. Corea may not have done it at all. It wouldn't be prudent for us to libel Mr. Corea in any way on this blog, as legal professionals we know better. But nonetheless, it is worth noting that in a search by IT professionals, the website CoreaLaw.com, affiliated with Thomas Corea of Dallas, does not contain the words "caring" or "compassion" in any of its extensive pages of text.

A lack of compassion may not be related to Corea being indicted on four first-degree felony theft changes totaling in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was obtained "from his clients' trust accounts, using false information to secure financial loans, and stealing identities to apply for various loans and credit cards," according to the DA. Though one thing is near certain: the perpetrator of such an act probably couldn't have been experiencing any sort of compassion or caring in the moments in which the crimes were committed.
