given how much a prior conviction makes employment difficult here in the US, how would you quantify financial impact not just of the time served, but also the reputational impact it has on your income.
you pick a really big number, and 10x it. it's all part of the negotiating. let a jury decide the final number. some people will tell you some formula about salary at the time, calculating anticipated increases in salary of that time, blah blah. screw a bunch of that. make it hurt.
