Best Practices of a Solo Practitioner

Strategy #1, Empowering the Client

It is important that clients feel comfortable with their attorney.  Some clients feel intimidated just because you are an attorney.  They are hesitant about making that first phone call to set up a consultation as well as about entering your office for that first visit.   So, my job as an attorney, is to break down that wall.

I encourage my clients to share their opinions, thoughts and strategies, as well as the facts of the case. I want them to know that it takes a team to be successful and they must be an active participant on this team. So, make sure that when you take on a new client, encourage them to own their case and remind them that this is a team effort.
