NEED A LAWYER?If so, you need to be aware of some common misconceptions about what a good attorney should be.
Many potential clients will hold these 5 common misconceptions and myths:
- “A really good lawyer is in a hurry and doesn’t have time to explain things to me.”
- “A good lawyer doesn’t care about me personally — he/she only cares about my case and the fee.”
- “The best lawyers will only care about my case if they can make a big fee — they will not care about my recovery, physically and emotionally.”
- “Really good lawyers are fighting bulldogs!”
- “All lawyers think they are better than other people like me.”
The answer to each if these five statements is FALSE!
Let’s look at these again:
- The best lawyers really should care about you as a person. We are people just like you. The only way we can really do the best for you is if we genuinely care about you!
- A really good lawyer must care about more than just your case and his fee. Legal representation is a personal service, you must know that your lawyer cares, and respects you as a client and as a person.
- A “real Lawyer” is a real person, who cares about more than a fee. The best representation includes people-to-people relationships, honesty, and concern for you, the client.
- Bulldogs attack without thinking and without a strategy. The best lawyers only attack if necessary, they use wisdom and thought to obtain the best results for you. You do not want a bulldog, or a fighter — you want a really and smart honest attorney who cares about you.
A good lawyer, like any good person, knows he/she is no better than anyone else. A good attorney respects everyone, and learns something from everyone. The best attorney treats everyone with respect and understanding. He or she is no better than you!
