In Carlyle v. Lai, 783 S.W.2d 925, 928 (Mo. App. 1998), the court of appeals held it was reversible error to show plaintiff hired an attorney to sue just fifteen days after her son's death. The court stated this was an improper attempt to portray her as greedy. "Accessing the legal system is normally not to be discouraged and, exercising one's right to utilize the legal system within established rules and procedures should normally not be used to discredit a litigant with a jury." Id. at 929.
