What are my options after a rod bearing failure

[Mikey]

Lmfao, bitching about me on the internet because of a 40% contingency on a case with $30k in actual damages that has a serious risk of little to no collection and requires almost everything to be drafted from scratch while you're publicizing everything. It's not like this some cookie cutter car accident where you just engage in "form litigation" and fill in a few blanks in a template. There's a damn good chance I do a lot of work and get a judgment against a guy that has half a pot to piss in.

There's about zero chance this case is worth my while at 40%, which is a pretty damn standard contingency fee for cookie cutter car accident cases, btw. I'm not the cheapest lawyer in town, nor do I have any desire to compete against someone charging 20% contingency on super speculative cases requiring subject matter expertise sending their clients on wild goose chases to get "loss of value letters." You certainly didn't have any questions about my competency and understanding when you were asking me question after question about the diagnosis.

Talking shit about how you didn't hire me because someone else will do it for half the price bothers me about as much as your boxing threats. I will literally make more flying/traveling to court for a client next month that I would in all likelihood. Finding some guy to do it cheaper is exactly what got you in this shit storm to begin with.

Now look, I hope this guy is some sort of phenomenal attorney who severely underprices himself and you make all your money back and then some, but believe me- I'm not going to lose a second of sleep for missing out on this case. I'll continue billing my clients who see the value in hiring me over the litany of attorneys who charge 1/2 my rate.

Now that's not how you originally portrayed this case to me at all. I had agreed to your price and was patiently waiting for the form to sign, but then you began ignoring me. The only response I received from you after agreeing to your price and waiting for the form was a comment on this thread. I left this thread alone while you continued to post passive-
aggressive comments. There was/is no threat, seeing that we are local to each other, a conversation in person is much more conducive to a solution than passive-aggressive comments on an internet thread


I have no desire to continue going back and forth on this thread, you have my number
