Sometimes clients give me the impression that they think that once they have handed over a matter to me, their work is done: they can just sit back and watch me do my thing. Of course, nothing is further from the truth, especially in litigation matters. Litigation is hard work, and not just for the lawyer. The client can do a lot for his or her own case that will save money and make the case easier to win, not least because, as I like to tell my clients, no one will ever know the facts of the case like the client.
In that vein, Jordan Furlong has written an interesting post on how to be an effective client. Perhaps I’ll make it suggested reading for all new clients!
Thanks for the link to Jordan’s great post
