        @StoeszTim Some clients prefer an expensive but efficient partner, as I reported in a @washingtonian cover story: http://read.bi/1RqPT2A

        @StoeszTim I agree that some are not worth it, but I can't say categorically that NO lawyer is worth $1,000 (or more) an hour.

        @DavidLat Fair argument...sometime you pay for more than skill...pay for connection and reputation factor...but it seems excessive
