Fee in tobacco case

[edit]

The article asserts, without citation, that Ciresi's fee was not negotiated with the plaintiff (the state of Minnesota). I consider that highly unlikely and probably misleading. I'm removing the statement pursuant to WP:BLP.

In several states, the pattern was this: The lawyers representing a state negotiated a contingent fee with the state before bringing the case. When the case was settled, the court intervened in the fee arrangement. The lawyers ended up getting far less than they were entitled to under their pre-existing fee agreements with their clients.

If that's what happened in Minnesota, it might be technically accurate to say that Ciresi's actual fee wasn't based on his negotiated agreement with his client, but the whole tone of the discussion is to paint him as a greedy s.o.b. who made a lot of money. In that context, the statement implies that he went behind his client's back to gouge a higher fee, which is probably the opposite of what happened.
