Mr. Liam O'Daly:

With undercutting and racing to the bottom, of course there would be counsel who would say they could do the work for less. However, cost is not the only criterion. We must have competent counsel. We must get the counsel who have the experience and expertise to do a certain type of case. In high-level constitutional cases, while people might say they can do it for less, they may not be right for the case.
