I believe what you're saying is that filing a CLAIM is not public. This is true as long as you don't file a complaint with the court to begin the litigation process.

Oh yeah, you're right... not enough beer this morning... Generally, once a lawyer starts working, it's gonna get settled before litigation. That's completely private. IF it goes to court, you can still be protected in various ways. But, I still say hand it to a lawyer, let him have his 1/3, and forget about it.
