In the case of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts v.

Some large law firms use leveraged billing models where associates do most of the work on a case, including the handling of important depositions and motions. While it may be impressive to have three to five attorneys working on your case, when they are billing from $250 to $500 dollars each, it may not be to your economic advantage when your litigation costs exceed the actual value of your case.

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Downey, we will evaluate your case early in the process to find a solution that best meets your business goals and objectives. Mediation and Arbitration are two forms of alternative dispute resolution that could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in litigation costs. But if your case is going to a jury trial, consider hiring an attorney who has worked both sides of the fence (plaintiff and defense) and has a proven track record of success. We will also work with companies to come up with creative billing solutions to meet the needs of small companies, including contingency fee agreements and transaction-based billing.
