TIP 22 You Are Not Right For Everyone

Try to make your legal clinic fit you and your personality instead of trying to change yourself to fit somebody else's idea of what family law clinic should be. Remain true to your values and principles and do not try to change who you are to adapt a customer. Don't try and be a round peg in a square hole. There are tons of different clients, a few and some match don't. There are lawyers who will help the ones that don't belong in your office.

TIP 20 Be Actual

The most essential component of lawyering is the ability to connect with your clientele. Treat them and show your interest in them. Be real. Lawyers who do so are much more happy, as are their clientele.

TIP 14 Voice Mail Schedule

In order to set realistic customer expectations, put your daily schedule in your voice mail so the client knows when they can expect a return call.

TIP 3 Reasonable Expectations

One of the most important errors of many lawyers is their inability to establish reasonable expectations for their clients. Notification clients what they would like to hear rather than what is very likely to be reality will lead to time and money wasted and spending the rest of the case hoping to bring the customer back. Better to tell the client the bad news from the beginning and anything you can do to improve upon this position will make you.

TIP 1 Feel it in Your Gut

If you meet with a customer and you feel it in your gut that there's something wrong with this customer, listen to your body and do not take on the document. In most cases, your initial instinct will probably be proper. There are plenty of attorneys out there to assist that client.
