• This is meaningfully lower than the rate for unrepresented cases (ie, pro se cases) (4%).
• Plus, this is marginally lower than the global average (2%).
• This is significantly lower than the rate for unrepresented cases (ie, pro se cases) (47%).
• Plus, this is much lower than the global average (40%).
• This is tremendously higher than the rate for unrepresented cases (ie, pro se cases) (18%).
• Plus, this is significantly higher than the global average (25%).
• Primarily, increase your chance of settlement;
• Secondarily, decrease your chance of a loss; and
• Tertiarily, decrease your chance of victory.
• In other words, attorneys will trade your wins-&-losses for ties.
FCHR/DOAH cases, however, rarely disclose the settlement terms. Therefore, it’s hard to say whether those 'ties' are truly ties; or whether they are coerced withdrawals.
