These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 61 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“an attorney must continually be aware that the attorney-client relationship is a fiduciary one as a matter of law and thus the attorney owes the highest duty to the client.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Testimony indicated that the accepted practice with regard to a structured settlement and contingent fee agreement is to apply the agreed upon percentage to the present value of the settlement. Other methods also exist. See, e.g., Choulos, Structured Settlements: Cure or Curse?, Trial, Nov. 1980, at 73; Krause, Structured Settlements for Tort Victims, 66 A.B.A.J. 1527 (1980); Mangelsdorf, Structured Settlements in Review: The Fundamental Concept, 4 Am. J. of Trial Advoc. 559, 563-64 (1981); Martin, Structured Settlements: Protecting the Plaintiff, Trial, Feb. 1982, at 50.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Oftentimes, structured settlements do not readily lend themselves to the usual course of calculating fees pursuant to contingent fee agreements. Therefore, when a structured settlement is reached the attorney and client may have to reconsider and discuss the calculation of fees.”
