Top Five Things Clients Never Tell Their Lawyers
Clients need to understand that they must communicate fully with their lawyers if they want to receive the best possible legal advice, writes Francis Drelling in a new article. He says lawyers need to better understand what a client might “hold back” so that they can take steps, early on, to solve the problem. 
He starts with the problem of clients withholding important information, possibly in an attempt to “sell” their case to the lawyer.
“Lawyers need to understand that they should make their point, their recommendations, and then listen to their clients,” he writes in the second point.
Other points include when to stop talking, hiding motives from the lawyer, and following the client’s directions.
