  - If Allred made that deal without explaining it to her client she could face serious disciplinary action. - pmb Jul 18, 14:27 1
    - And that's what I get for not reading to the end. Apparently she is bringing a claim, and if it's true she should win. And she should also bring - pmb Jul 18, 14:29
