Tips On Becoming A Lawyer

TIP 21 Return of Original Documents

When you've finished a document, give back first documents to your client. You are not going to need to keep them and you change the responsibility for safekeeping back.

TIP 14 Voice Mail Schedule

So as to set realistic client expectations, then put your daily schedule in your voice mail so the customer knows when they can expect a return call.

TIP 13 Homework for Your Customer

In the first interview with a customer, emotions are usually heightened and this isn't the ideal time to provide the client a lot of homework to do. However, because the document progresses, it is important to ask the customer to do their assignments and provide documentation to you. The documentation that was standard can be put out in a form and checking off.

TIP 18 Get it Off Your Chest

Clients, notably matrimonial customers, often need a way to tell their story to others. Think about forums in which a customer can get it off his chest. Consider using Dispute Resolution Officer hearings, social workers, mediation, psychologists, Judicial Dispute Resolution conferences and arbitration as techniques that are potential to allow a struggling client.
