DA also provides seminars on these and other topics for lawyers and law firms. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Devil’s Advocate has been the leading legal fee management and litigation consulting firm, and its founder, John Toothman, has been the leading expert in the field, including the author of the leading papers and books about legal fees and their management.
