[quoteVery few clients are concerned with what law school, let alone what undergrad college their attorney attended. They are focused on what you can do for them and how much it costs.
How naive. Saying clients don't care about credentials is like saying porn producers don't care what a girls tits look like. The going rate for a top law school grad is $200,000.00. Thats because when the case is lost, the CEO who hired the firm may lose his cushy job and wants to be able to go back to the board of directors and say "but I hired the best".
The hidden assumption in your analysis is that "top law school" = better attorney. I think your highly naive if you believe that. I went into great detail how law school bore little connection to the realities of law practice. They require totally different skills. Second, nor do I agree most litigation is about "ego". It's about money or a perceived wrong. I think you watch too much "Boston Legal."
