[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1629416, member: 1242"] Ouch ... JB, did I hit a nerve? I'm not talking about whether the client thinks they have a motherlode case ... I'm talking about attorneys who take cases on and let them lanquish because there's no money in them while working their staff to death on cases that have obvious major potential. As far as attorneys taking those cases on contingency ... If you didn't you guys wouldn't have any work because how many working stiffs have $10K to plunk down for a case that might work out a couple of years from now after the insurance companies do their damnest to wait them out and their attorney is bleeding them dry with hourly fees for "Check status of case" and expenses. More attorneys than I can count have told me time and time again ... Everybody in America is entitled to be best legal defense money can buy them" .. and even that won't necessarily keep them out of jail ... or get for them what they are entitled to from the insurance companies. Why you even joke of it from time to time here. And yeah ... when a doctor doesn't do their job I do begrudge their fee ... just like I begrudge paying the lawn guy when he charges me for trimming the bushes and only does a half-assed job, or the mechanic who swears he did the work even though he didn't fix the problem ... what of it?? They still get paid, but I damn sure don't give them any repeat business. If you guys want to get paid up front then stop taking them on contingency. There's nothing wrong with turning a profit but don't try to tell me that attorneys give the same level of representation to the little claims as you do the big ones when the bottom line is how much they are gonna be able to net in the end. After all, that would cut into profits. ETA: I think soonersfan hit the nail on the head. [/QUOTE]
