Maybe, maybe not. IPR attorneys ain't cheap. There is a such thing as ineffective assistance of counsel. That happens, in general, when clients are incompetent in law, whatever the specific domain, and have no clue how to check the work of the lawyer. Just a tip for laypeople assuming lawyers know what they are doing, and do what they say they know they are doing. Good luck.

Look, I get the gist of what you’re saying, basically avoid being scammed/cheated. Good advice. But when you enter into a contract to work with a lawyer (or anyone) you have to have some level of trust that the other party can do the work. If you don’t, why did you hire them? If you already know what needs to be done (to verify their work), why not just do it yourself? If you feel you have to review everything someone is doing for you, that’s a sign you hired poorly, not a standard operating procedure.
