“One of the things that people have asked is… ‘if I don’t pay my lawyer, in other words, the contingency fee in a personal injury case, well, if I don’t pay my lawyer How do I know the case is important to them? How much time are you going to dedicate to that case? This is now a question because I’m assuming that’s the industry-wide standard, the contingency fee, so what do you tell the customer when he asks that question?”

“Well, I don’t get paid until I make a deal, so I have no reason not to get a deal. I have a reason to reach an agreement. As I mentioned before, I do not determine what the settlement will be, the client is the one who gives the go-ahead. I couldn’t sue and then accept the settlement I thought was good, and then talk to the client and let them know what we got. I’ve had a couple of clients who just didn’t want to be bothered because they were too busy with various life challenges, but I could never have solved them without your authority. I’m motivated to get things moving quickly because I won’t get paid until I do.”
