It may feel routine for you, but navigating the legal system can be extremely stressful for your clients. Anxious clients don't always make the best decisions. As their advisor, it's your job to help put those nerves to rest so that you can both do your part effectively. Here are some tips.

It's important to offer something of value to your clients! For example, our firm offers free case evaluations so people can get some guidance about the best next steps to take for their case. This gives us an opportunity to see if we are able to help them, but also provides them a chance to speak to a lawyer, no strings attached! What do you offer for your clients?

The Power of Honest Self-Evaluation: A Lesson from a 'Simple' Letter ⚖️ Picture this: I'm sitting at my desk, faced with a seemingly straightforward task - drafting a two-page letter. Easy, right? Wrong! It took me two days to get that letter out. Now, you might be thinking, "Why would you risk delay?" Well, it's a story of discomfort, and ultimately, valuable self-discovery. 📝 As attorneys, we sometimes find ourselves writing letters that claim a violation and demand money. It's a dance that attorneys do, communicating in a tone that's, well, let's say "assertive." But on this day, something was different. I hesitated. Why was I delaying? I decided to dive into my own discomfort zone to find out. And what I discovered was gold. 💰 Turns out, if I had sent that letter with all the assertiveness initially requested, it could have easily spiraled into a legal circus: frantic calls, unnecessary back-and-forths, and a distraction tornado for the company. The circumstances were straightforward, but my instincts told me to hold back. 🎪 So, I did something that pushed me right out of my comfort zone. I spoke up to the client and suggested a softer, more forward-thinking strategy. I was nervous, but if I hadn't spoken up, a little piece of me would have been washed away - a piece of my enthusiasm, my pride in my work in what I have to offer. 🌊🎩 Why share this? Because, I've learned that self-evaluation is the secret sauce. It's not just about the case or the client; it's about understanding ourselves in the process. When we do, we gain insights not just about our clients but also about who we are as attorneys, and God forbid, who we are as individuals. It's a quirky, uncomfortable, and oh-so-rewarding journey. 🕵️♂️🌟 Sometimes the simple act of pausing, evaluating, and standing up for a different approach can be a game-changer. A little discomfort now and then keeps us sharp. #LegalLife #LawyerInsights #SelfEvaluation #LegalHumor #LinkedInCommunity

People react emotionally when they don’t have a structure in place to solve client issues. Emotional reactions may very well be justified but you can make matters worse for your business and your clients when you make decisions from that space. Instead, have your reactions, compose yourself and then act according to your contract. THIS is one of the reasons it’s in place. So you can make decisions based on structure, policy and the thoughtfulness that went into drafting your client contract. Client disputes come with the territory of doing business. But you can always set yourself up for a win-win outcome when your business has a solid legal foundation. Talk to me about it.

Yesterday, I called bull s*** on law being the most stressful profession. I stand by what I said. But, in true lawyer form, let's assume arguendo that law is, in fact, the most stressful profession. What are the most effective, lowest cost, easiest-implemented ways to deal with this stress? This is what's worked for me: 1. Sleep 8 hours per night. 2. Work out 1 hour per day. 3. Do one nice thing for my colleagues every day. (Thank you to Denise Harle for the photo and for the original discussion on this topic)

The secret to solving problems (the solveable ones at least)… It starts with awareness and attitude before it ever gets to knowledge and competence. Until you see a problem, there is no reason to act, to do anything. But awareness alone doesn’t change things. You then have to care enough to do something, regardless of the motives (to alleviate suffering, to make money, whatever). Only then does it become an issue of knowledge and competence. So, how do I use this as an in-house attorney? Questions. Ask questions. Lots of questions. The goal is to get others asking the same questions. A good question can create awareness of the issue, understanding of who should own it, and hopefully desire to do something about it. A good question is sometimes more effective than a well reasoned argument. #questions #attitude #doicare #will #problemsolving
