Hire the Lawyer Who Hates Insurance Adjustors?

...ished the tools to avoid suit or trial. Many don’t even use pre-litigation mediation. I am not made of money, and I like to save the $10,000-$30,000 in litigation costs when possible, as that money is just coming out of YOUR settlement.

What You May Not Know of the Legal Profession

...of 36 hours of continuing education. Add to that 8 hours of family law, of mediation, and other subject areas, and I spend around a week a year working to maintain currency in my profession.

Breaking Up With Your Personal Injury, Divorce, or Civil Lawsuit Lawyer

...ttlement demand was in the file. In six months, after a frustrating failed mediation, we settled that case for a large sum of money. We paid the other firm the value of their services – NOTHING. In the other case, the woman’s lawyer called me back, told me she had heard “rumors” the woman had gone back to her husband and that the woman did not communicate well with her. But, SHE HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR FAILING TO FILE A MOTION TO WITHDRAW AND NO EX...

...ons, and the like. 16. I will write a blog article on this subject, but if mediation were mandatory in all cases, had to cover all issues, used only lawyer mediators, let lawyers charge $500-$1000 to be consultants for divorcing people, and other innovations, with proper training and support, lawyers could do divorces for $500-$2500 in the majority of cases.
