Correction to last post, that was David Hood, a defense lawyer here to speak for the Chamber of commerce on 6-21.1 attorney fees. His identical twin brother is John Hood, of John Locke foundation.

David will argue that Atty fee statute needs to be changed because it considers the time the lawyer works on the case. Argues that judge should not consider 2+ years if litigation in determining if injured person beat the highest offer of ins co.

Opposite is true. If ins co can litigate without worrying about time of p lawyer, change in statute encourages court house step offers.
