The story of Cynthia Pollick, a lawyer excoriated by a federal judge from the Middle District of Pennsylvania in 2017 for a large fee request following a small recovery. U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann denied the request for fees, stating that it "at times, felt more like an attempted bank robbery than a genuine effort to recover a reasonable fee bill." He fined Pollick $25,000 and promised to submit the matter to lawyer disciplinary authorities.

Would the outcome in the case of Attorney Cynthia L. Pollick's excessive fees be different if the Attorney had properly documented her work to the court?
