You know IJ, you in your own words did not say it was hopeless, you just said you just said you could not make much money (250 k verdict max for 150k invested). We take on many times more than 150k a year in write offs for uninsured and underinsured and don't call those cases "worthless" or and give them any less diligence. And our bonus is that you are their salivating if anything goes wrong (bad outcome = call lawyer). You are not going to roll the dice with your $$ unless you think you will win. We take care of people for nothing every day and put on our money and livelihoods on the line doing it - you know why ? - because we give a damn. I have treated a number of malpractice atty's and their families in my practice because their people - I think you guys forget that about doctors - we are just a means to a financial end for you.

No, I didn't say that. I said that in these cases there was not a likely recovery.

I cannot in good conscious advise a client to go forward with a suit when the prospects for recovery are so low. That is what is called a frivolous lawsuit, which I don't believe in filing. Apparently you do.

In the final analysis, the client decides if he wishes to file suit. Once you explain to a client that there is no realistic prospect for recovery once expenses are paid, no one in his right mind will chose to go forward. Even if you say we have a 50% chance of winning $250,000 which after paying $150,000 in expenses you will get 55% or even 60% of, who in their right mind would do that? Rational people don't file lawsuits for the hell of it.

Try to focus. Your arguments are all over the place.
