Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
The
simple
reason
why
lawyers
like
Alex
Spiro
can
charge
so
much
is
that
the
work
they
do
is
valuable.
—
Professor
Jonathan
Choi
of
the
Washington
University
School
of
Law
in
St.
Louis,
in
comments
given
to
Business
Insider,
on
Quinn
Emanuel
partner
Alex
Spiro’s
ever-increasing
hourly
rate.
Business
Insider
notes
that
Spiro’s
rate
has
nearly
doubled
to
$3,000
over
the
last
four
years.
As
noted
by
Choi,
“litigants
think
it’s
worth
it
to
have
the
best
lawyer
they
can“
—
and
Spiro
is
one
of
the
best
there
is.
