In an effort to be a more practical blawger, here is a word of advice:
When, after saving your client many months of freedom, your client's parent tells you, "I don't think you did a very good job representing my son," you do not get to reply, "I don't think you did a very good job raising him."
(had to remind myself of that recently)
I think you do. The truth is a defense, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat's something that other lawyers should say to their clients, but that I would never do.
ReplyDeleteTrue, the truth is a defense, but only up to the point just before my client's dad's fist comes flying toward my nose.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. When parents have fired me, I've had kids say, "I really like you. I think you're doing great. Sorry about my Dad."
ReplyDeleteSome times I wish I were as wise as Scott Greenfield and his parting words.
