17. I disagree

I disagree that I jumped to conclusions or that the cost bill is reasonable.
There is no way anyone can convince me that 5 expert witnesses are required to defend against a single plaintiff in an employment discrimination suit.
That is based on about 17 years of experience practicing in the field.
I maintain that this kind of spending is to keep other plaintiffs from filing suit. How many plaintiff law firms can advance that kind of money? How many would want to risk that kind of money? They can't.
