Sometimes being a plaintiff’s lawyer means you go long stretches without seeing the fruits of your labor, especially in bigger cases. Then sometimes you have a day like we did recenlty.
One settlement for $925k. Another for $2.25 million in a different case (and that client had called six or seven lawyers who wouldn’t even take her case).
Then, right when I was getting ready to log off for the day, we got an order denying a motion to dismiss in a legal malpractice lawsuit we filed.
I’ve learned to never get too up when things are going my way and to never get too down when things are not.
But days like that are invigorating and a reminder of how the hard work we put in each and every day pays off. We just might not see it right away.
