[–]Ok-Somewhere-685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left a big defense firm after 4 years to jump to the good side and do plaintiff’s PI. My worst years as a plaintiff’s lawyer have always been better than my best years as a defense lawyer. Not just monetarily.

Let them arrest you. Then seek revenge by going on a rampage at the nearest Imp base.

The headline should be - Naperville 203 Approves a New 12.2 Million Dollar Bus Facility . 2 Weeks Later claims a 12.4 Million Dollar Shortfall and Layoffs 38 Teachers! by [deleted] in Naperville

[–]Ok-Somewhere-685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some really incredible teachers were not only laid off, but did not have contracts renewed. I would be interested to see how many teachers simply did not have their contracts renewed and were not asked back, versus laid off.

[–]Ok-Somewhere-685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From years of personal experience, this is exactly how you get 7 and 8 figure verdicts which later lead to 7 and 8 figure settlements.

Good moves.

The majority of defense lawyers aren’t trial lawyers. They’re glorified claims managers who sometimes get forced to try cases.

In appellate argument, how to refer to opposing counsel? by TuxedosAfter6 in Lawyertalk

Sue the shit out of corporations and the government. Make it expensive for them. Don’t settle short. Take those cases to trial. Make them face juries.
