So I do general litigation but have had a few cases like this. It’s not something I would do and turn down the cases at this point. The problem is if you prove your case there is some money there. But that’s the issue. Very little records tend to come out or exist in cases like this. They aren’t going to document what’s happening and then you have to make sure your client is sound of mind also, which sadly is also hard. I have worked in 3 big PI firms in my state and they took everything but these cases. I do the same with my own practice.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill. The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures. I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)
