Lawyers, what's a case you regretted winning? I'm a work comp attorney, now represent injured people,

but used to work on other side insurance defense. There was an applicant with a serious injury,

fell off a ladder, busted back with fusion, shoulder screwed. Years of treatment, internal issues,

psych issues, really just messed up. 50% plus permanent disability. We were five years in and finally

getting to settlement time. If we bought out his future medical settlement pretty far into six figures,

this guy was the sole provider for wife and two kids. Then we found out he had aggressive brain

cancer, expected only a couple of years to live at best. Thus, we wouldn't

buy out future medical anymore. Still got permanent disability for 60K-ish, but can't give

medical buyout based on 25-plus-year life expectancy anymore. I felt terrible for the guy

and his family. Me and the adjuster tried to get insurance to agree to some sort of amount like

five-year buyout, but the bean counter said hell no. The attorney knew it wasn't me making the

decision. Even though he worked on that guy's file for five plus years, he decided to take zero

dollars in fees. I have so much respect for that attorney turning down 10k plus in fees to help his client in a

very crappy situation.

Yeah, I can't lie if I were a lawyer on the other side of that, I'd probably be laying

awake at night thinking about that guy and his family.

And clearly this guy does.

substance used and imprisonment as a result.

He came to me saying he was clean and doing good and had his life together and it checked out.

He had been clean for almost nine months, not counting jail time, and seemed sincere and wanting to resume a full relationship with his son.

The other side fought viciously to keep him in extremely little custody and supervised
