What Does the Client Want?
It can be easy when you handle a considerable amount of cases, to feel like you know what is best for the client. Ultimately, however, it is their case and their life. Consequently, you should always get their input.
In the course of our practice it is not uncommon for a client, who is currently represented by another firm, to contact our office about their case. Unfortunately, the common complaint I hear is, "I have only met my attorney once, and all they said to me is what I should accept for settlement." That is sad.
