"But the job of a good attorney is to find a leg to stand on. An attorney has taken the case." That doesn't imply that the attorney who has taken the case is a good attorney. And he may just be doing it to get free publicity. |

A really good point and I actually meant to mention that as a reason the case might have been accepted.
But that said even though I am generally a believer that any publicity is good as an attorney you wouldn't want to come off as a total laughing stock in order to get publicity. So while we definitely don't know if he is a "good attorney" we do know that he was able to get an attorney to take the case. I wasn't able to find much on the attorney. So he has (quick guess) everything to gain and not much to lose.
Of course I could offer as a counter to my argument the facebook case (Paul Ceglia) [1] [2] which was a total joke but he managed to get a prominent law firm to represent him in that case and they certainly screwed up on that one.
