Yes, well I'm not sure if he did that, but I do know that
several attorneys have declined to represent him because they
feel his case is not "winnable."  But that's the malpractice
part of it.  I'll have to talk to him about the Social Security.
 Thanks for that advice.
Anyway, thanks for the self-employment suggestion, and good luck
on your appeal.                    LRu
