I'm sorry you had such an experience. Ethical lawyers will give you the best advice they can, which often includes "you are going to end up paying me way more than what's at stake here." (This literally just happened to me as a client over a land-sale-deposit dispute.) Or, "This is a turkey of a case and you should roll over. You owe me nothing."
- datavirtue 5y agoI have gotten that advice from lawyers. I just kept hitting up new lawyers until I found one that saw things my way. Resulted in a windfall for me.
- torstenvl 5y agoGlad it worked out for you, but it's a bad idea to extrapolate that to broader advice. Maybe you got lucky. Maybe it wasn't luck and you have some kind of gift for assessing case trajectory. But in either case, most people aren't going to be able to predict a case outcome better than experienced attorneys.
