There is so much context missing here. Plaintiff attorneys charging upwards of 40-45% of contingency fees if the case moves to trial. Juries being sympathetic for plaintiffs in many circumstances when defendants are backed by insurance/corporations. Defense attorneys understanding the risk of nuclear verdicts and applying pressure early to contingency fee lawyers to encourage settlements. The goal as a defense attorney isn’t to win, it’s to minimize financial exposure - unless winning is projected based on the law and facts. Not to mention Courts strongly prefer parties mediate/arbitrate before utilizing judicial economy.

Exactly why I was a prosecutor for a few years out of law school. Did many trials. I came to civil practice recently and watch/ hear about many other civil litigators terrified to do what I can in my sleep now.

I’m a law clerk and my judge hasn’t done a civil jury trial since 2019. Everyone just wants to settle 😴

If there were clear medical malpractice on a 91 year old which led to death.. Would you take the case on acontingency basis?

Most cases are settled due to the cost and risk. The exception is PI and high value civil cases . It's really that simple .

Totally agree. A lot of attorneys today even go so far to avoid trial as much as possible.

So how do you go about finding a good lawyer? One that’s actually willing to put in the work ?

I mostly practice real estate law now, so trials are incredibly rare, but I spent a couple years trying low dollar (<$25,000) civil liability cases. I can’t say that I was very good at it, but I’m so thankful for the experience. There are so many people in my practice area that have never even gotten close to a trial, so even the thought of one scares them to death. As an introvert, I am incredibly impressed by anyone who truly likes going to trial and is good at it. It’s not for the timid.

Family attorney here, I’m in court A LOT. I think family and criminal attorneys are the most common real trial attorneys in this day and age. But completely agree, most attorneys never step foot in a courtroom.

@No.vangogh: Agreed. As a healthcare worker for 40 years I see the same issue with many doctors/employees in my field. Medicine is financially focused rather than patient based. Which, in turn, often leads to lawsuits that end up supporting the legal profession.

insurance companies have been keeping data on individual plaintiffs' lawyers for decades. If you have a track record of winning at trial, you're going to get a better settlement. If you don't, you won't. But eventually it doesn't make any sense to go to trial when you get good settlements.

Civil litigation generally will be drying soon—not just trial work. A.I. will streamline the entire discovery process and a lot motion practice. Probably at least half of all civil litigators today won’t be needed by 2040.
