i weigh
00:06
the potential outcome the probable
00:08
outcome in court against
00:11
the settlement offers that we’re able to
00:15
to achieve in in negotiation
00:18
if i can get you in negotiations
00:22
into a settlement posture that falls
00:24
within the range of probable outcomes at
00:27
court
00:28
then
00:29
you know that’s a good time to settle
00:31
your case
00:33
if we can’t get the other side to be
00:35
reasonable
00:37
then um
00:39
we
00:40
have to weigh the cost-benefit ratio of
00:42
going to trial it doesn’t make any sense
00:45
to spend ten thousand dollars fighting
00:47
over 15
00:49
and so you have to look at the cost
00:50
benefit ratio including cost of time
00:54
effort
00:55
and the trauma of going through trial
00:58
and at the end of the day
01:00
there are cases that simply have to be
01:02
tried
01:03
if i’ve got a case where
01:06
one of the parties wants to move their
01:08
child
01:09
across the country it’s very hard to
01:12
settle that case those are the kinds of
01:14
cases where
01:16
in all likelihood you’re going to go to
01:18
trial and there are other instances
01:21
where the trial option seems to be the
01:23
only way to get it resolved
