- So that's basically the deal with the Contractor. They owe us $20M. As I said, I think we have a really strong case but the other firm wanted to charge $2,000/hr with no total cost estimate. That risk is just too high!
- I see where you are coming from. Well, I have a deal for you!

- It sounds like you have a fairly strong case but you never know until you get to court. Our firm doesn't do your typical billing structure. We simply do 40% contingency. That is 40% of what you get out of litigation. If we settle out of court, we only need 35%.

- 40%! That could be $800K. That seems awfully high! Will you at least negotiate on that value?
- No I'm sorry, I have been told by my managing partner, I am not to negotiate on that value.
