[quote=sdsurfer]I’m not that privy to the going rate for the caliber of representation he has anything, but do you think he spent more than the 109k on his attorney’s fees so save the 109k along the way? Not that funny, but kinda.[/quote]

I seriously doubt it. It isn’t the kind of problem that an attorney would have to work more than a few hours on. Just write up the application and send it in. Maybe make a few phone calls to the right clerk to make sure everything is in order.

At $250/hr, which is a pretty high rate, a lawyer would have to spend 10 full-time weeks on it.
