PRETTY DARN DEEP...

The biggest asset of the big law firms like Duane Morris is their "Reputation". They throw it in your face every chance they get, just like Duane Morris is doing in the post by sman99 posted earlier...

They have structure set internally to review and "Approve" the firms involvement in anmy case that comes through the doors. And the remphasis is always on (1) what are chances of winning this case?, and (2) HOW MUCH MONEY WILL IT MAKE FOR THE FIRM?..

A firm like DUANE MORRIS will not sign up with a case like EDIG, unless it has the O.K. firm the very top senior partners have put their stamp of approval on it.

In short some one did all their DD and made a presentation to the BIG BOYS, and convinced them the case will bring them a lot of money. To top it off they also agreed to advance all the costs of the case, and item that is highly unusal and unheard of...

They really must have wanted this case to not only put their reputation on the line, but also put their money at risk by having to eat all the costs advanced if they fail.
