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

Big Law doesn’t know how to staff and run a limited damages case. I just had a plaintiff case where we estimated dames at $10M. It stared out fairly aggressively fought. All deps that might help etc. both sides. Then a patent marking issues slashed my damages to $2M. We down shifted accordingly. Do we need this or not? The other side Boston Big Law kept sending 5 lawyers to Minneapolis for each hearing or dep.
Then when you get to mediation the guy is all”it’ll cost you each $5M to take this through trial, so you know, settle.” I’m like, dude $250k tops. I don’t know if Big Law doesn’t care or just can’t tailor anything?
