I don’t know if this happens in the US but I’m sick and tired of people trying to cheapen our profession.

A friend asked for a quotation for some work. I sent my initial proposal (which I think, was pretty low) and instantly said that I was too expensive and if I could reduce it.

It is what it is, if you want a cheaper attorney for your company (which in the long run may be more expensive) go for it 🤷🏽‍♂️.
