What else was there?POPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558836541249077077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-4695351617527092282008-04-08T15:44:00.000-05:002008-04-08T15:44:00.000-05:00Iopaa, you really think the only thing that was done was drafting a complaint? You do realize that not all work of attorneys shows up in court files? It sounds to me like their bill is quite low in comparision to what other firms would charge? I bet you the firms defending CIB and the other defendants made more money and they didn't file anything.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899023066910200507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-73277967990463232592008-04-08T07:00:00.000-05:002008-04-08T07:00:00.000-05:00Are there any lawyers who can show me how to bill $8,000 in just drafting a complaint? I'm apparently doing this all wrong!POPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558836541249077077noreply@blogger.com
