Defense Attorneys Milking Cases

Defense attorneys are milking cases for all they are worth today. Two litigation attorneys I spoke with this week said they have never seen it so bad.

During “good times” defense attorneys that are paid by the hour usually milk a case for a minimum amount before settling. But as these law firms are getting less work than normal they are tending to make up the difference by spending more time per case. The net result is that it takes longer to settle a case than a few years ago.
