BERLIN (Reuters) - A German lawyer hopes to drum up more business by pursuing state compensation claims for people who believe they were abducted by aliens.

"There's quite obviously demand for legal advice here," Jens Lorek told Reuters by telephone on Thursday. "The trouble is, people are afraid of making fools of themselves in court."

Lorek, a lawyer based in the eastern city of Dresden who specializes in social and labor law, said he hoped to expand his client base by taking on the unusual work.

He has yet to win any abduction claims, but says there are plenty of potential clients, noting that extra-terrestrial watchdogs report scores of alien assaults every year.

1. LOL!

Here's the quote that had me on the floor..."The trouble is, people are afraid of making fools of themselves in court." YOU THINK!?!

If these fools are paying him by the hour, more power to him. I love it!

Wonder what else he can sue for Big Foot trauma or Loc Ness Monster fishing damages.
