today, me, my lawyers and a certain LA city and their lawyers met for a settlement conference.
the city ended the day with an offer of $85,000.
3 months ago it was $15,000....... then it was $35,000 and today it started out as $50,000.
This meeting is a requirement by the court before trial so we all had to attend and the city was basically required to make a formal offer.
The city knows that the precedent setting case for these types of issues of Glik vs Boston where the plantiff was awarded $170,000 plus lawyer fees and he only spent 1 day in jail.
I know that as trials near cities man up and pay up.
Depositions are supposed to start in 4 weeks.
