I'm quite sure that Mz. Victim's Mother isn't about to front Jose any money at all. What's airfare from Orlando/Miami to Denver? Comes out of Jose's pocket.
Civil cases drag on for years and years. More airfare/hotels/fine dining. Comes out of Jose's pocket.
Sure, he gets to say a few bon mots on tee vee, but if he drags other high profile attorneys into this, they will be on tee vee, too - taking up his precious face time. Comes out of Jose's pocket.
I can see Mz. Victim's Mother calling and calling and calling Jose. Long distance. He'll eventually have to return a few of those calls to keep her happy. Comes out of Jose's pocket.
He'll have to have a huge staff, of course (makes him look important) who will research a bit, interview a bit - all in Colorado. More airfare, more hotels, more fine dining. (OK, maybe more Macdonalds for them, but same thing.) Comes out of Jose's pocket.
And that few million he *might* be awarded 2026? Good luck collecting on that.
Ah, the price of fame was never higher. Plus he'll have several CO residents highly p***ed off at him, and if the clients willing to talk to the press now, just you wait. They'll certainly talk after the fact.
So, go ahead, Jose. Those 17 nanoseconds of fame will cost you plenty. You'll find out you just can't buy class, taste, or manners. Or smarts.
