At mediation, the defendant offered $35,000 on a slip and fall case. Attorney Brian Dettman advised his client to walk out. A year later, the case settled for $175,000.
The lesson: don’t accept lowball offers out of impatience. With the right attorney, holding out for fair value can make a significant difference.
