Survey Shows Two-Thirds of Clients Think Lawyer’s Costs are Out of Line


A few years ago, the founder of Sentry Consulting Group noticed a dangerous and disturbing trend.  Corporations were being charged exorbitant legal fees for the discovery phase of their litigation  process. Though historically, discovery is the most expensive portion of the litigation process, the trend toward excessive legal defense costs was becoming glaringly apparent.

The problem originated with a break in communication. Because there are numerous players involved in the discovery phase of litigation, a lengthy and complex process like document preparation and review becomes even lengthier and more complex than is necessary. The end result being the inevitable problems of over-billing, redundant billing, and over-tasking that occur when dozens of professionals are handling and transmitting thousands of documents. Only the client suffers. Because this process is largely unchecked, it creates a massive amount of inefficiency.

It was clear there was an urgent need for an organization to assist corporations and government agencies in maintaining price control by means of process management over this type of vast litigation project.
