How to read these figures
A dollar figure here is the gross amount of a settlement, award or verdict. The firm’s fee, court costs and expert fees come out of it, and a judgment still has to be collected.
A good result for a defendant often has no number at all: a case dismissed, a claim withdrawn, a lien released. Those can matter as much as any award.
None of these says how your matter will end. Each one depended on its own documents, witnesses, judge and timing.
Wondering where your dispute might land?
A first meeting won’t predict a result, but you’ll hear the strengths and weak spots on both sides.
