Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““With regard to paragraph (e), [former] DR 2-107(A) permitted division of fees only if: ‘(1) The client consents to employment of the other lawyer after a full disclosure that a division of fees will be made.’ Alabama had rejected the other subdivisions of the Model DR which also required that ‘(2) The division is in proportion to the services performed and responsibility assumed by each.’ and ‘(3) The total fee does not exceed clearly reasonable compensation .... ’ Further, in a provision unique to Alabama, as found in [former] DR 2-103, it was said: ‘Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the division of fees with a forwarding lawyer. ’ A similar provision was added to the Model Rule at Rule 1.5(e) by the phrase ‘including a division of fees with a referring lawyer.’ ””
