I just want to make sure you get an opportunity to ask as many questions as you want so. Q. Okay. And I appreciate that, but the court reporter can't take down both of us at once. So we just need to speak one at a time, but I appreciate that. A. Good. Q. I believe the last question I was asking you about whether the scope of the investigation, what reasonably required of an attorney varies depending upon the nature of the allegations being made. I think you said, yes; is that right? A. Yes. Q. And could you explain how, what in your understanding of how -- A. Sure. I mean, obviously, they are going to be some cases that are very complicated factually. More investigation would be appropriate there. There can be some situations that very simple factually, less investigation would be factually necessary there. Same points about legal issues, too, some cases are complex legally, some cases are simple legally. The more legal investigation would be required for the more complex cases. MR.
