Well, I suppose there are some groups that might be more on the ambulance chaser side of the profession. Perhaps they’re mostly just looking for a quick settlement. Maybe they don’t have much experience, because they’re fresh out of law school. Maybe they mostly practice probate law, or do oil and gas leasing.

Or maybe they are big guns with $3,000 per hour billing rates with clients beating down their doors, lots of experience in contract litigation, with a long and glorious record of winning every case they take on.

It was intended to be a bit vague to avoid maligning any of the counselors at the bar. But I suppose if you insist on more detail for this query, this seems like one way to frame it.

Seems like they're on the more affordable end of things. The google reviews are....interesting.

Sounds to me as if I'd have to split hairs to differentiate the first group of ambulance chasers from the second.
