I believe it is very important to answer my client's questions and explain the law so that they better understand their situation and can fully participate in making decisions that are in their best interest. It is equally important to be reachable, to follow up with concerns and diligently advocate on their behalf. While knowledge of the law is very crucial to ensuring a favorable outcome, being practical and listening to the client is critical.
