He resigned the firm. 129 00:16:06,884 --> 00:16:11,972 Divorced, 1970. Galvin worked with Michael Morrissey until Morrissey retired in '78. 130 00:16:12,055 --> 00:16:17,019 Since then he's been on his own. Four cases in three years. He's lost them all. He drinks. 131 00:16:17,102 --> 00:16:19,521 Four cases in three years. 132 00:16:19,605 --> 00:16:21,982 The man's an ambulance chaser. 133 00:16:22,065 --> 00:16:24,902 - Tell me about this case. - This is a nuisance suit. 134 00:16:24,985 --> 00:16:28,906 He's asking for $600,000 and betting we don't want to go to court. 135 00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:33,327 - No, we don't want this case in court. - Neither does he. That's where he loses. 136 00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:36,997 He's scared to death to go to court. We only have to call his bluff. 137 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,502 I want to settle and be done with it. I don't want the archdiocese exposed, Mr Alito. 138 00:16:41,585 --> 00:16:45,047 No. Absolutely. And we're going to see that it's not. 139 00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:47,508 So, what I want to do is stop it here. 140 00:16:47,591 --> 00:16:51,011 I'm going to make him an offer myself. I want it to come from me. 141 00:16:51,094 --> 00:16:53,430 All right. But let's keep the price down. 142 00:16:53,514 --> 00:16:58,477 I called Ed Concannon. He recommends we continue to respond as if we're going to trial. 143 00:16:58,769 --> 00:17:01,480 If we were to go to trial, would we win the case? 144 00:17:01,563 --> 00:17:04,107 Well, of course it's always dangerous. 145 00:17:04,191 --> 00:17:07,152 I know that answer.
