Hello, Could someone please explain why D is the correct answer over E? Thanks in advance!
pretty good explanation, bermuda! nice work with the conditional logic.
Thanks so much to you both! Both explanations are very clear and make sense. I definitely overestimated the value of being in the unlikely category (my own faulty assumption), and I see now how D clearly connects to the argument. Much appreciated.
How are A and D different except thay they are just written as opposites of each other? They both still say the same thing? And why are you doint thecontrapositive of choice D? I thought that if you were testing what the assumption is you just negate your contenders? Also when you negate both A and D they both still have the conclusion still standing as a firm one.

I am still not completely clear on the one. The repeated reference to the famous client led me to choose E. I thought that the lawyer was saying that it is unlikely that anyone would not recognize the famous client but recognize the assailant and therefore the witness must be unreliable. Can someone please help?

When hiring an attorney, a potential money pit is “expenses” outside of the lawyer’s billable hours. Expenses include everything—copying and faxing costs, hiring expert witnesses, and even traveling via private jet, points out attorney Justin C. Roberts. Some lawyers don’t just pass the charges along; instead, they charge an additional percentage fee. Whatever their method, you need to know it up front so there won’t be any surprises when the bill arrives.
“ Winning cases can be lost because of a client who lies or exaggerates just as easily as because of a lawyer who tells the client what the client wants to hear instead of what is true.” So when dealing with attorneys, don’t just look for honesty—be honest.
“If you want to improve your chances of securing the best lawyer to take your case, you need to prepare before you meet them,” advises attorney Stephen Babcock. “Get your story, facts, and proof together well before your first meeting.” This not only ensures that you understand your own needs, but it helps a good lawyer to ascertain whether he or she can actually help you. “We want the best clients too. Proving you’re organized and reliable helps us.”
In fact, a lawyer should try to stay out of court. “In my experience, a good lawyer always finds every opportunity to keep a case from being decided by a judge, and only relents on trying a case before the bench when all alternatives have been exhausted,” attorney, Jason Cruz says.
On reading a demand letter, the other person will often say, “this isn’t worth the trouble” and they quickly settle. But here’s a secret from Knight: You don’t need a lawyer to write a demand letter. You can do it yourself. Just make it look as formal as possible, and you may find your dispute goes away—no charge to you.
If you feel helpless when faced with an insurance denial, please know that you might be able to appeal with the help of a qualified lawyer, says David Himelfarb, attorney. Insurance companies routinely deny long-term disability claims, for example, particularly because it’s assumed that most people don’t have access to reputable attorneys to challenge the denial. “This is where intricate knowledge of the legal and insurance process, as well as the right team of experts to prove the claim, can reverse the odds.”
