<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Leonard's assessment regarding the need for multipliers on attorneys fees. I think the changes to the landlord tenant law in 2013 make the need for multipliers even more important because it made fighting eviction cases more
difficult for tenants. In the almost 20 years that I have been practicing I am not aware of any significant changes to the law that were in favor of tenants. The law has become progressively more in favor of landlords. Then there was the Stanley decision.
A multiplier is necessary for an attorney to take cases on a contingent basis.<o:p></o:p></p>
