I am not sure just how outrageous that fee might be. I don’t know how many other attorneys may have assisted on Callaway’s defense nor how many private investigators may have been hired. Also, if he felt that there was some procedural irregularities (and it would appear so), there may have been some civil litigation prepared.
If we have any attorneys on the list serve, perhaps they could weigh in. I know that 30 years ago I was getting paid $200 per hour plus expenses as a consultant. I have no idea what good attorneys charge today.

Trust me... it is PRICEY and they find every way possible to charge you for everything.

His only altruistic motive is that he wants his inflated $400k legal fee paid. This is what confuses me. First, if the legal fee is inflated; isn it extortion to demand that an artificial fee be paid “or else?” Simply charging an inflated fee seems unethical. Second, how could anyone realistically think that their opponent would pay their substantial legal fees, unless UF had done so before? Third, if you take on Callaway pro bono (maybe he comes from crazy money, most students don’t), why would you run up a $400K fee that you know he couldn’t pay? -Zeb -- -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GatorTalk" group.
