But it seems to me that this might be a great way to find the attorney most likely to succeed with your case - and a good way to see if you have a case to begin with. If a client gets a $10k bid and a $100 bid, that is good evidence (though not conclusive) that the higher-bidding lawyer is more capable of handling the case. If a client gets only a $100 bid, that's good evidence that they don't really have a case. Perhaps they should get rid of the "yes" or "no" answer altogether and just ask "WhatIsMyCaseWorth.com"?
