The Law Office of Keith Short settled a case for $1.75 million. It settled 2 days before trial was to begin. A week before the defendant offered $100,000.00. We declined and refused to counter. Two days later the defense increased their offer to $500,000.00. Again, we refused to counter. Friday morning they upped their offer to $1 million…we waited. Eventually, we got to the number we thought was fair for our client; one he was willing to accept. He will never be able to earn the same money he was making before the accident, but with smart financial planning (we direct our client to investment firms) he will be able to provide for his family the remainder of his life. All of this happened because of the trial team approach and exacting attention to detail our clients receive. Remember, if we don’t win for our clients then we lose all of the money we invested and we don’t get paid for the hundreds of hours of work the team puts in developing the case. We knew we would win. We told our client to be patient and have faith that they would cave or we would take our shot in the courtroom. They knew we would win so they gave up and fairly compensated our client.
