Field Fisher lawyers freed from Mumbai terror ordeal

Mumbai attack I am not a lawyer. But I am someone who had to suffer the anxiety of having a near and dear one trapped in the Oberoi hotel last week. I have been shown this article and the attached blog by my housemate who is a lawyer. I cannot believe you guys. Your comments say an awful lot more about yourselves than they do about Mark Abell. I personally found his understated stoic courage a source of great comfort and inspiration at a time when I was very worried for the safety of my near and dear one who was stuck in the Oberoi and was unable to contact me or the rest of our family. To my mind and to that of the whole of my family - and I suspect the vast majority of people - Mr Abell demonstarted great courage and does not deserve to be subjected to your cruel and unjustified comments . So what if he said where he worked? Do you think that it registered with anyone other than a few sad individuals in the legal profession? If you devoted half as much time to doing something useful to help the victims of the Mumbai massacre as you do to this bitching the world might be a better place!
