I mean, once you pass the $200k mark and you're still in the pleadings stage, you might want to re-evaluate your counsel.

That's extreme, of course. But there is a strategy to smoking out all the issues during pleadings.
But again, all of this can be done much more effectively in mediation.
But then, some group of nitwit associates can't fly out with a partner, to watch that partner argue a discovery motion, then FedEx their briefcases and 1.0 boxes of docs home from local counsel's office for $500.00.
Skadden was the worst. Why any client paid for those shmucks to litigate anything was beyond me.
