The One Thing Most Lawyers Get Wrong in Client Relationships
As an attorney, I’ve seen firsthand how important the relationship between lawyer and client is. Whether you’re dealing with a personal injury case or workers' compensation claim, there’s one thing that’s crucial for success: understanding that you are in charge.
Unfortunately, this is something many lawyers get wrong. Let me explain why that matters and how I approach my practice differently.
You're the Boss, Not the Lawyer
In every legal case, the client—you—should always be in control. As your attorney, my job is to provide expert advice, advocate for your rights, and guide you through the legal process. But one thing I’ll never do is make a decision without your approval.
You know your life, your situation, and your goals better than anyone. My role is to give you the information, options, and guidance you need to make the best choices. You have the final say because it’s your case, and I’m here to work for you.
The #1 Mistake Lawyers Make
One of the biggest mistakes I see other attorneys make is forgetting that their clients are in charge. They take over the decision-making process, sometimes without even consulting the client. That’s not how I do things.
I believe in keeping you involved at every step. From the big decisions to the smaller details, I’ll make sure you know exactly what’s happening with your case. No surprises, no secrets—just clear, open communication.
How I Put Clients First
When you work with me, here's what you can expect:
- I get your permission before taking action. Whether it’s filing paperwork or negotiating with the other side, I’ll always explain your options and get your approval before moving forward.
- I keep you informed. You’ll never be left wondering what’s going on with your case. I’ll provide regular updates and be available to answer your questions.
- I make sure you understand every step. The legal process can be confusing, but I’ll break it down for you so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
- I fight for you. My job is to advocate for the outcome that aligns with your goals. I’ll use my legal expertise to ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
Building Trust Through Transparency
Trust and transparency are at the core of how I work. I believe that the best attorney-client relationships are built on open communication and mutual respect. You deserve to know exactly what’s happening with your case and to feel confident that your attorney is acting in your best interest.
Whether it’s a personal injury or workers' compensation case, my approach is the same: I work for you. I’m here to guide you, but the final decisions are always yours.
