[quote=Anonymous]I did a brief stint in a family law practice and it might be a money thing. They make a lot their money off of the initial consults. Quick and easy upfront cash. After that they have your money in "escrow" so they can take their time getting back to you. The firms themselves tend to be staffed leanly and there are only so many hours in a day so they tend to go after the cases where there is more money to be made. High net-worth individuals w/ cash to burn on negotiating "boiler plate" settlement agreements. If they didn't like a client or want a case because they thought it would be a hassle they would suggest an absurd upfront retainer amount. Hoping the potential client wouldn't want to obtain. The group I worked for were a cynical bunch and they didn't have much respect for the clients. It was a strange place. [/quote]
