Why Does an Attorney for the Insurance Company Says Going Up Against an Inexperienced Attorney is Like “Shooting Fish in a Barrel.” These same inexperienced lawyers believe that on the morning of trial, the insurance company will suddenly come to its senses and realize that the case is worth three times what it previously offered. These are the same lawyers who, shortly after they file suit, believe that the judge spends every waking minute reading the file on “our case.”The experienced lawyers with whom I have dealt in the past spend more on essential issues and less time on issues that make little difference. In other words, they get to the point, we get the job done, and we either settle the case, or get it tried, and they understand that. The good lawyers are fun to work with before you get to court. Once you get to court, they know what they are doing and, while it is more pleasant to try a case, it’s not as much fun because they are good. With inexperienced lawyers, it’s no fun at all getting a case ready for trial, but once you get in the courtroom and they read all of the questions on voir dire, it’s sometimes like shooting fish in a barrel.
