The Look on Her Face
TSL reflects on the moment a worried client can breathe again.
Transcript
TSLI had a client a while back. Working mom. Got hit on a regular drive home. Couldn't work for months. Was scared she'd lose her place.
TSLThe first offer she got was a fraction of what her bills, pain, and suffering added up to. She was ready to take it because she didn't think she had another option.
TSLWe talked. We didn't take the first offer. We worked the case the way the case deserved to be worked.
TSLI'm not going to tell you the dollar amount. Every case is different.
TSLWhat I'll tell you is the moment I called her at the end - there was a long pause on the line.
TSLAnd then she just kind of laughed. The kind of laugh you do when you realize you can finally breathe again.
TSLThat's the moment I'm working for. That's the whole job.
