The Neverending Conflict

It seems that attorneys are always in conflict with someone whether it be other attorney, clients, or someone else.  I was thinking about this in preparing a few cases for trial.  Oftentimes, I seem to get brought in after a case is already gotten way off track. Someone tried to save some money on an attorney, and then either completely lost at trial or alternatively the case got so sidetracked that nothing is happening on the case with a bad temporary order in place.   One of the neverending conflicts is clients trying to save money vs. getting results.  As someone I know once said, some of life's most expensive lessons are caused by trying to save money on an attorney.
