Yep. The big dog at the law firm sees a big pay day for you and wants a bigger cut than he'd get if an underling handled it.

Partner to run up legal billing (more $/hour) and percentage of settlement that firm keeps.


what? no

if this is in LA it's 99.9999% a contingency and the fees are set regardless of who does what at the firm

The mental/emotional part is what is killing me.

this is probably the answer. partner gets to put his/her name to it to get leverage when they settle up the firm's distribution of the settlement $

That strict liability for dog bites in Louisiana about to make you and your attorney some money.

Hope everyone recovers/recovered.

The underling associate (I.e. Non-owner) is a W-2 already more than likely. The associate has either left and/or the owners of the law firm are jockeying for position amongst each other for allocation of the money that might come in from a settlement or judgment.

Bless her heart.

My grand daughter had a rather large dog run at her and jump on her when she was little. Thank God, she wasn't hurt; however, she has been terrified of dogs ever since.

I can only imagine how terrified your little one is, and I bet you and the Mrs. aren't very comfortable either. I hope it all works out OK, and in the end you guys can move on with your lives and things become more normal.
