Uncle Bill Is Too Busy

Unfortunately, the food undustry is still too busy trying to keep Bill Marler in business. Don't get me wrong, it's part of my business as well. Bill and I met one day about 8 years ago. I was knee deep in a Salmonella case involving a past divorce client of mine who unfortunately found himself on dialysis after eating at a buffet in a casino in Nevada. I'd never seen anyone so sick and so near death. My client had gone to the casino to place a bet, he just didn't know he'd be betting his life while eating eggs. After some initial research on the net where Marler's name came up about 10 times, I began thumbing through my then issue of National Geographic. Low and behold, there was an article on World food supply and illness. In the article was a photo of Bill Marler and a reference to Jack in the Box. I literally called Bill with the article still in my lap. We teamed up on my case. He and his very astute partner, Bruce Clark, flew down to meet me and my client(Oh, and we went fly fishing too on the Provo River). I learned a great deal by being around Bill and Bruce and still do to this day. The one thing that has stuck me is that Bill doesn't care about the money. If he could, he'd do it for free. What he cares about are his clients and that they are compensated for the injuries inflicted upon them by the careless people and entities that keep poisoning them. Please, put Bill Marler out of business. I hope one day Bill, Bruce and I can go fly fishing without worrying about the multiple cases of food poisoning we are now faced with--like a slow river without a worry in the world. See a recent AP article about Bill:
