Legal Fees In a Construction Dispute?... You're Not Alone.
John Parnass over at Washington Construction Law, an excellent Washington State Construction Law resource, is reporting on this article from the Law Blog of the Wall Street Journal. The Donald is suing his attorneys over the fees they billed in representing him in a construction matter.
Great quotes from Trump regarding the underlying dispute and legal case over the breach of the earth-moving contract in the construction of a Golf Course:
"I have a Ph.D. in legal fees. I know when fees are fair and when they are not."
"Ninety percent of the conversations I had ... were about legal fees, not the case,"
"We won the case because I'm a great witness."
Whether or not they've got their own TV Show, clients should work with attorneys to establish a beneficial fee structure and ensure that they're getting value for their money.
