Know Something About Your Kind of Case
Your lawyer's credibility and ability to try your case--particularly a complex case or a legal malpractice case--is critical to your ability to be taken seriously. Only by demonstrated jury trial experience will your lawyer be taken seriously. If your lawyer is not is not taken seriously in his practice area, or just wants to settle, you will have poor results. If you have a lawyer that will prepare your case for a trial and has experience in that practice area, you will be taken seriously and are more likely to have a good result.
