What if we have to go to Trial?
Going to Trial should be the last resort. Why? Because not only do my attorney’s fees jump from 33 1/3% to 40%, but this is when the true litigation and discovery process begins, meaning the costs on the case skyrocket to cover expenses such as depositions, experts, and preparing for Trial. Further, and most importantly, going to Trial can be a roll of the dice as you never know what a jury is thinking or going to do. Also, there may be a circumstance where if you get nothing or a certain amount lower than what was offered to settle the case by the Defendant in a proposal for settlement, you may have to pay the other attorney’s costs.
