Shane is a fucking idiot for not being able to find Nick's "win-loss" record, and asking if he's a "settlement guy." Lawyers don't work like that, this isn't a sports league, and the vast majority of civil litigation is settled out of court.
The only Lawyers that really count a "Win/Loss record" are Prosecutors. And then only because they get to count Plea Bargains, and it is really the only metric they have since Prosecutors are not servicing the needs of a specific client. Pretty much all other Lawyers are there to represent their client, and their record is one of Client Satisfaction with the outcome. Which more often than not involves a Settlement. Or in the case of a criminal case, pleading down to a much lesser charge without jail time.
