Fire The Bad Client

Link: South Carolina Trial Law Blog: A Good Case with a Bad Client is a Bad Case. This post contains some great advice for lawyers. David Swanner hits the nail on the head with this one. Bad clients are bad for your mood, bad for your digestion, and bad for your employees. My favorites are the ones that don't seem to hear what you say, and call back over and over to hear it again. The only thing I would add to this post is the Foonberg advice that I carry with me every day. Fire the bad client. Or, as David advises, don't hire them in the first place. Don't ever let economic stresses cause you to ignore the flashing lights and honking horns that your brain makes during that first conference. You know who they are. You know they will be a problem. Just don't.
