I was going to say that you described Guy perfectly without using his name.

I am curious to see what the clients response will be to the bill. Please let us know when it's done.

That said, I don't disagree being honest is the best policy. I just don't presume to know how beneficial this client is to his firm and always proceed with caution. Sometimes, actually most of the time, telling the client they were essentially "wrong" in any facet doesn't play out well for longevity. Maybe, just maybe it doesn't matter much to his firm and that's the best approach, I don't know.

Just be cautious is all Clunt

Now I have to bill the client for 6 hours, at $250 an hour, for an opposition I never filed (yes, $1,500) otherwise it will look to my boss like I did nothing that day.
Found out later (because the judge took it under submission), that we won. Boom. Contract law is my bitch.
