In the litigation arena, in reflecting on the changes which have occurred within the legal industry over the past eight to ten years, many would likely agree that the monetary exposures and the cost of dealing with those exposures have influenced both the manner in which attorneys are selected and retained as well as the manner in which the client elects to staff and handle those claims and exposures. The firm encourages discussion of alternative value billing programs which can be specifically created and tailored to meet a given client’s needs.

Commitment to our Clients
Ultimately, an attorney’s worth is measured by the value of his or her services to the client. To Farmer Case Hack & Fedor, the concept of “value” connotes that blend of cost effectiveness and outcome which results in a sense of satisfaction with the work performed. The firm and its individual members are deeply committed to this concept of value in the services performed for all of its clients.
