Are Your Attorneys' Fees Fair? Guest Jim Wawro

You will hear new things today about lawyers, lawsuits, and clients, like: how much you should budget for your legal problem, how to find the right lawyer for your case, what a reasonable lawyer hourly rate is, how lawyers resolve cases and what that means about how you will be charged, why lawsuits take so long and cost so much, and what you can do to make sure that you’re being charged fair attorneys’ fees for your case.

In today’s show, Jim will talk about how to analyze the steps necessary to resolve a lawsuit, how to evaluate the difficulty likely to be encountered at each step, how to gauge the overall litigation strategy of the other side, and how to thus calculate an accurate “bottom line” for almost any lawsuit.

Jim Wawro brings to this subject successful experience as an associate in a Wall Street law firm, a founder of an AV-rated small firm, a freelancer, an administrative partner for a 300-lawyer Silicon Valley firm, and a senior partner managing a 50-lawyer department in a 1400-lawyer mega-firm. As such, Jim has rendered, reviewed, paid, litigated, or arbitrated thousands of bills for attorneys’ fees in the context of virtually every type of litigated matter and practice situation.

In the back of every litigant’s mind is the thought: “How much is this going to cost me?” Many have wondered how to understand, estimate, and control the cost of a lawsuit. Jim Wawro’s short book, RIGHT ON THE MONEY: How to Accurately Estimate Litigation Attorneys’ Fees, provides specific, easy to apply guidelines for accurately evaluating the key factors to resolving any lawsuit at an acceptable worth and cost.
