| Good morning Marcy
I will pass on this one for a number of reasons: breast cancer delay in diagnosing cases are generally difficult for the plaintiffs, and nearly impossible when you only have a 4 month delay. Also the attorney wants too much for a referral fee (remember FTCA cases are already reduced fees 20-25%) and, I trust your instinct - lack of a "good feel" about this inquiry.

I was a bit suspicious of the Email (we seem to be getting spam, crank Email requests for help) so I google'd David. He does have a website however I could not validate his law degree. Still don't have a "good feel" about this one. Marcy 202-340-0070 Begin forwarded message: Date: June 21, 2010 4:54:40 PM EDT
Subject: breast cancer failure diagnos
Dear Attorney puckett:
i am an attorney in New haven CT. I have a client who is married to a LTcol stationed in Newport RI. Navy doctors failed to diagnose breast cancer first examined in april 2009 until august 2009. As a result of the delay a more significant treatment may have been required and the prognosis may be different. However at this point it appears to be primarily a delay case rather then a prognosis case.
I am looking for to refer the case to counsel to pursue under tort claims act.
My referral generally is 33% of gross attorney fee.
Please advise your level of interest or other counsel you think might be interested and competent.
Thank you
DavidSylvestre esq.
