“Nio, how can you live so well on two dollar retainers?”
“Well, like I say, the tort claims are the moneymakers. You know about ‘Vans,’ the shoe company, and ‘Vons,’ the grocery store? Well, there used to be a wine warehouse called ‘Vins.’ Now, one day a Vins cube truck was delivering cases of wine to a chain warehouse in Pomona. To save money, they had overloaded the truck by 25%. And, they hadn’t put down wheel chocks to prevent a runaway. So, predictably, the Vins truck rolled away downhill and just about flattened a preschool at the bottom.”
Kayla had her eyes wide and her hand covering her mouth, horrified.
“So, in a huge stroke of luck, the kids were having recess in the back yard. Only one fatality: an aide caught inside the building. Wine was sloshing everywhere, and several of the moms fainted when they reached the scene. The kids were already frightened out of their minds and completely hysterical until and after their parents arrived.”
“I was part of a team of three lawyers representing the aide’s estate, the preschool, and ten of the fifteen families. By the time the judgment came and Vins had been liquidated, the award was tens of millions, and we lawyers split the customary 35% fee four ways. For me, that supported a whole lot of low cost and pro bono custody and divorce work.”
