Court Costs and Delays.

Long ago I adopted a rule not
to accept a retainer fee to bring
any suit involving a claim of less
than $50, even in a justice court"
said a prominent Texas attorney
recently. Even though the
plaintiff might win. in the opin-
ion Of this attorney, it would be
money in his pocket to compro-
mise the claim on any terms he
could rather than go into court.
In any suit to be brought in the
county court another attorney
advised that any claim under
$500 be compromised rather
than risk the uncertainties oil
trial and the expense of court
costs.
