A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. A moral tone ought to be infused into the profession which should drive such men out of it. In law it is good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you oblige yourself to prove what you can not. Reflect on this well before you proceed. Abe, you act as though fees are not important for a lawyer.
Lawyers have big student loan debts to pay off, they have office rent and staff to pay.
It costs a lot to run a business. The matter of fees is important, far beyond the mere question of bread and butter involved. Properly attended to, fuller justice is done to both lawyer and client. An exorbitant fee should never be claimed. Sometimes, unfortunately, clients do not pay.
