Of course, I'm in an actual litigation department, not a demand letter churning department, so we don't normally get called unless someone is <i>really</i> planning to sue if they can't get a settlement.<br /><br />Of course, our guys are never anything but professional. When we send demand letters, it's just a matter of time before we file the suit, and a nasty phone call isn't going to change that one way or the other.<br /><br />He is right about standing up for yourself, though. On the disputes we are in, we know that there are two sides. We're also pretty good at saying, "look, we know you screwed up. You know you screwed up. We can spend a lot of money on both sides eventually convincing a jury that you screwed up, and end up costing you a ton more... or we can make my client whole and you can put it behind you." (We're also good at turning down cases where we <i>can't</i> say that.)Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270536870200063563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-76818166379100117572011-04-13T09:31:47.485-07:002011-04-13T09:31:47.485-07:00Oh, man, I would have sworn the Lindsey Graham bit...Oh, man, I would have sworn the Lindsey Graham bit was from Iowahawk. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
