Jonas said his starting point for the negotiations was $15 million or $16 million, but said the agreement insured that the women received a timely payment and avoided potential risks of going to trial."I have a 71-year-old client. You think she wants to risk the appellate court reversing it for one reason or another?" Jonas said. "$4.2 million means a lot more to her today than potentially $7 million 10 years down the road."
Trutanich called the agreement a "no brainer because the costs were going to skyrocket."
"We got out of this thing pretty cheaply all things considered," he said.
