Rob,

I am curious. about something – maybe you can help me.

How much difference do law schools make when picking an attorney?

Does law school have any bearing on how goos an attorney is or will be?

Great advice Rob! I'm still looking for a corporate attorney but I can vouch for the usefulness of your advice here because I used it recently for working with my child custody attorney, who was worth every bit of what she charged. But at $350 an hour you can bet I had laser like focus during every meeting! Michael The Success Secrets

Rob, checking in.

i am going through a legal problem and it’s hard to let that money go to an attorney when I feel like a lot of stuff I SHOULD know how to do myself.

How do you get your clients to believe that hiring an attorney best for them?

My in-laws have had the same attorney for many years and they consider him a friend as well as a professional. When they met with him a while back, my father-in-law mentioned they chatter and talk about things like friends do, and it wasn't until after the meeting he realized they were going to be charged for the time they were "chatting" too! Needless to say, my in-laws meetings with their attorney are now "streamlined." Peggy Larson Quilting – Colors and Fun!

Your advice could save people a fortune! I've found it's always best to think very carefully before asking lawyers and accountants a question. What seems like a quick question can turn into a long answer and the meter can be running from the moment you pick up the phone!

This is a great list to keep your attorney meetings on focus and valuable.

As a (rather costly) management consultant, I can see the value in my clients consistently applying the suggestions here.

Great post Rob.

The more laser focused you are with your attorney, the more he/she can help you in that particular situation, but do be thorough! Sometimes a tiny little issue off to the side – seemingly unrealted – can bite you in the tush later.

In your first meeting you just want to determine if you can work with the attorney. In your second meeting, come clean about everything. What is really going on. Let your counsel help you plan strategic direction for legal actions and opportunities.

Yes tangents. . . . Very good advice. They do seem to be paid to make everything just a bit more complicated. Not the time to practice your coverthypnosis skills either. Keri Eagan Anything Alternative

Hi Rob, indeed as a business owner both providing professional services to businesses myself (marketing consulting) as well as having family members offering other professional business services, the more I can first educate myself a BIT so I make the best use of the hours I am paying for as well as being reasonable that I don't want to fully train myself so much that I could get licensed myself, the better. I have learned also to know what are my strengths and to leverage them. Your advise is sage and sound from the practical perspective of one who has been running his own business for awhile. I truly appreciate and respect that. Happy Dating and Relationships, April Braswell Single Baby Boomer Dating Success Expert

Thanks for the tips on how to use our time with lawyers effectively. Your advice could save a person hundreds, if not thousands of $$. I will use it the next time I work with a lawyer. By they way, the last lawyer I contacted was the brother of one of my best friends. This automatically made him somewhat of a friend. This being the case, he quoted me a discounted rate of $280 per hour for any work he did for me. Wow. Health, Fitness for Working People -- Darryl Pace

One way to save $ with attorney is this: Tell the principal to get a junior staff to preapre the materails or case for you, then get the law firm aprtner to go over that preparation to make sure it's crrect. That's what happens in most cases anyway, whether you ask them to do so. The ONLY difference is the fee they can charge you: the latter is much less expensive than otherwise!
