Why Did Hogan Lovells Thank Me For My Query but Michael Madigan Brushed Me Off?

Dear Mr. Freedman –

 

Thanks for your note.  Unfortunately, we receive many more requests for pro bono assistance than we can possibly handle.  Accordingly, we will not be able to assist you at this time.

 

Best of luck.

 

Sincerely,

I am writing to inquire whether Hogan Lovells would consent to represent me pro bono in the following matter.  I intend to file a worker's compensation claim regarding injuries I sustained during my employment at Akin Gump (1988-1991).  The following email message I sent to Dennis Race will explain the claim in detail. If you cannot represent me, perhaps you could refer me to another DC attorney?

 

Thank you.
