B____: R____ B____ was born a normal, healthy child. However, he was a fussy eater and was not getting enough breast milk during his first day in the hospital. Despite his profoundly low blood sugar, the hospital discharged him and his mother home. Twenty-four hours later, he was returned to the emergency room, limp and listless. His blood sugar was so profoundly low by that point, that he suffered significant brain injury. The lawsuit against the treating obstetrician, pediatrician and hospital that discharged R____ was settled for $9,000,000.00** by Bill and his former law firm.

** A contingent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $3,600,000.00 and $350,000.00 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
