[QUOTE="FullAuto, post: 1721829, member: 5110"] Do you think any of the unrealistic expectations the clients have come from the lawyers trying to get their business? I've seen lots of stories on forums where the lawyer told them they'd get big money if they signed with them and once they did the client is pressured to settle out of court for a very small percentage of the promised amount. They seem to feel the lawyer is just looking for the quick, easy buck. Why work for 1/3 of $100k when you can take 1/3 of $30k with almost no effort and run? I can tell you I had NO realistic expectations of what my claim is worth but if I go see a lawyer in person to discuss it with him, it's worth $10-25k more than the previous lawyer after I tell him that amount. If I keep shopping, it could be worth millions. LOL I will agree with your last statement though. I am not for caps. [/QUOTE]
