Personal information continues to be thrown away and the local news continues to cover it. Here is video of a dumpster full of personal information in Atlants. A personal injury lawyer is responsible for dumping the documents. His excuse was that the files were closed so he just dumped them. It will be sweet justice if a lawyer who I am sure claims to help the "little guy" get what he deserves from big companies is sued for treating the "little guy" so poorly.

If you were wondering how the records were found, George Altman found the documents bulging out of three dumpsters while walking past them in the Northlake office park.

If you expect your lawyer to do the proper thing and shred your personal information then buyer beware. W. Dan Mahoney not only throws his clients information in the dumpster he doesn't know the law enough to know that trash is open for anyone to look through.

This just another example of a shredder collecting dust as personal information gets casually thrown away. Before you let a lawyer ask to see the bins from his shredding service or a log of their shredding for the last six months. If they really are shredding they should have history to that effect.
