LOVE YOUR LAWYER

Michael Howard Wolf Law Firm

My tip of the day is simple: Love. Your. Lawyer. What do I mean by that? Lawyers are people. I am a person, just like anybody else you have in your life. Lawyers have feelings and emotions just like anybody else you will ever deal with at any point in your life. And the fact is that everybody loves to be loved. So, you need to understand that your lawyer is your best friend in the situation for which you needed lawyers. You need to get along with your lawyer. You need to communicate with your lawyer, which is a two-way street. You need to respond to your lawyer when he needs information from you. You cannot just drop your legal case on a lawyer’s desk and say, “You need take care of it. Let me know when it’s over.” It does not work that way. The lawyer knows the procedures and the processes, but he/she need your help. You are part of the team representing you. So, treat your lawyer with respect, trust what he’s doing. You are always entitled to explanations of what he is doing and why he is doing it and, if you disagree with what he is doing, you discuss it in a mature and understandable way. If you follow these tips, you will find that your legal case will be much less stressful when you are getting along with your lawyer.
