What
should you expect of your lawyer?
Dan Chamberlain
will take certain steps to ensure a smooth working relationship
with you and to affect the best possible result for your legal
matter. Such steps include:
- Disclose
to you in a timely fashion any new developments relating
to your legal matter and how those developments might be
handled.
- Return
all phone calls made by you in a reasonable time frame,
or have a staff member update you.
- Keep
you fully informed about the impact of any actions that
are contemplated.
- Furnish
you with a written fee agreement and disclose to you any
unanticipated costs relating to your case.
- Understand
your goals and expectations for resolving the matter. Discuss
these goals and expectations to ensure they are reasonable.
- Listen
to you and be attentive to your concerns.
Not all
problems have a fast, cheap, or smooth resolution. Even if
you, as the client, are being reasonable, your adversary may
not be cooperative in bringing your case to an easy and inexpensive
conclusion. Some of these factors may be out of your attorney’s
control.
