Today’s topic is going to be an attorney client communication. At the initial client meeting, I like to call the client that the attorney-client privilege is a two-way street.

What’s that mean? #

Well, I like to stay in touch with my clients, at least every couple of weeks, once a month so I can stay on top of their case, can figure out what they’re treatment is, where they’re going to doctors if they need any help from me. I also like to advise the clients that if they have any questions to call me. I hate when clients do something on their own without checking with me first, that is detrimental to their case. They will go out and they will ask their aunt, an uncle who may have on may not have been in a car accident. And that’s really not the best possible way to move forward with a case. I like to answer all of my client’s phone calls on the same day. Unfortunately, sometimes it can take up to 24h. Because I may be stuck in court, I may be in meetings, etc. Since we work as a team here in the office, in most instances one of my coworkers will be able to answer those questions.

My advice to those clients is #

If you have questions if I’m unavailable in most instances one of my coworkers will be able to answer those questions so talk to them. I also like to have my clients understand that the very first meeting is that approximately 98% of all car accident cases will not get in front of a jury. That’s just a fact. If you have to file a lawsuit. The reason I like to tell them that, because, most people are very apprehensive of going to court. They’ve never been to court. They don’t want to go through that process, they don’t want to be in front of a jury and answer those questions. Rest assured, 98% of those cases are settled before we ever have to see a jury. It’s not like in the movies.

If you have any other questions for me please don’t hesitate to give me a call at 314-352-6800.
