We work on our cases as a team and you are an integral part of team. A lawyer’s stock in trade is information. The more information, the better advice an attorney can give. Generally, you are going to know more about your situation than anyone else. It is important that the attorneys get that information. So, the client is a valuable team member. Conversely, most clients do not know much about the law. For you to know what is important, you have to know what we are doing on the legal side. We make every effort to explain to our clients what we are doing and why. We encourage our clients to contribute. Things work out better that way. By the time we resolve your matter, we hope that we have become friends.
