Today is Saturday.
On Thursday morning, I spoke briefly with a well-credentialed if young California criminal defense lawyer about a matter our firm must refer out involving a long-standing client of ours. Time is very important. In this “white collar” matter, fees have been estimated to be in the $50,000 to $150,000 range. (I think more like $250,000.)
Also on Thursday, later that day, I followed up our live chat with a voice message, asking him to call when he could.
Yesterday, Friday, I received this e-mail from that attorney. He won’t be hearing from my firm again:
Mr. Hull: I wanted to email you and let you know that I am willing to assist you with your matter. I am available to talk about the situation in more detail any time after 10am on Monday, 10-2 on Tuesday, or after 10am on Wednesday. Feel free to give my office a call at your convenience. Thank you and have a great weekend.
