 Attorney Approach “Being a successful attorney requires both knowledge of life and human nature and knowledge of the law and its implementation. The first is acquired only by experience; the other only by hard work. A successful attorney is not one who makes a lot of money. Rather, a successful attorney is one who contributes by any chosen path to make our society more just and decent.”
Howard R. Price approaches prospective clients guided by these beliefs: - Never make a promise that cannot be kept simply to get retained.
- The only guarantee that can be made is to diligently represent the client.
- The worst thing an attorney can do is to give false or unrealistic expectations.
- Never tell a client something just because that is what he/she wants to hear.
- Every client wants to hear the good part of the case, but every client needs to hear the bad part of the case as well.
- The fear of the unknown is much worse than the fear of the known.
- Every client deserves open and accessible communication with his/her attorney.
- Every client deserves to have his/her questions promptly and clearly answered unless they have already been repeatedly answered.
- The client is not expected to know the law and it is the attorney’s role to explain it when asked.
- Attorney web site testimonials from anonymous clients are one step above advertisements on the back of a bus.
