| 206 | William Tinkler | 712837 | Decatur | GA | The right to recover by third parties is, more often than not, a question of fact. Why should the attorney be required to act at his/her peril in making the decision whether to pay a third party claimant in such a circumstance? It's nuts. The Bar committee which proposed this questionable rule must be composed of majority who represent business and corporate interests and insurance companies, attorneys who have never seen what it's like on the side representing the victims of such special interests. This proposed rule is horrible. It reflects that the Chamber of Commerce and the insurance industry have taken over the Bar, or at least the committee of the Bar which proposed this terrible rule, one which could subject very many good, decent, ethical attorneys to draconian sanctions. The rule must not be adopted. |

| 208 | robert j. harriss | 333300 | rossville | GA | the rule is simply too broad and too subjective - it has the potential to open bar members to liability or litigation regarding entitlement to funds when a case is settled or otherwise resolved |

| 210 | Robert W. Hughes Jr. | 376311 | Stone Mountain | GA | This interpretatoin is not in keeping with the ethical obligations owed my clients. It is one thing to meet your legal obligatoins when a client's creditor files a lien or obtains a judgment, it is quite another to require me to become the trier of fact as to whether a client owes someone a money. |

| 229 | Robert | 409055 | Atlanta | GA | The Proposed Formal Opinion is an improper intrustion by the bar into legal disputes between insurance plans and policies and individuals who have been injured. Reimbursement issues related to ERISA health plans are an unsettled area of law. The Proposed Opinion would have the effect of creating an enforcement mechanism for insurance plans that neither Congress nor the Georgia State Legislature has seen fit to create. To the contrary, Georgia Public policy is that persons who have been injured should be fully compensated. This enforcement tool being provided to insurance plans clearly contradicts this public policy. Simply put, the State Bar is over stepping its role by issuing such an opinion, essentially substituting its opinion of proper enforcement mechanisms in the place of appropriate legislation or judicial opinions. Further, it ignores the fact that each plan has varying language which clearly would make determination of when funds had to be helf difficult if not impossible. This Formal Advisory Opinion is not well conceived and should be tabled for further study and input from all parties with an interest in the rule. |

| 238 | James M. Poe | 582725 | Atlanta | GA | This proposal is unworkable and fraught with danger for those representing the injured. While I can appreciate the need to follow the direction oft he client, this places me in a position where I have a conflict of interest between representing my client zealously and protecting myself and my firm against Bar complaints by those who would use this opinion as leverage for claims which they have not established through appropriate litigation. |
| 239 | James E. Lee II | 443405 | Macon | GA | this is a bad idea. It makes the lawyer for the injured party a collection agent for a maybe creditor, creates a conflict with the client and subjects that lawyer to the ultimate, disbarment. |
| 240 | Jack J. Helms, Jr. | 344510 | Homerville | GA | The proposed FAO does not accurately reflect the realities of attempting to settle case and correctly distribute the settlement proceeds. The FAO Request needs to be re-examined. |
