The matter was never meant to go to trial, and both parties clearly understood that. It was meant to accomplish precisely what it did, in fact, accomplish, and I can't imagine an attorney taking on such a case on a contingency basis. Nor can I imagine either Meat or Jim dealing with an attorney who would be willing to take it on a contingency basis. It was a negotiation, pure and simple.
Okay, perhaps not quite so pure ...
