by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - August 17, 2005 - 'The Greatest' Philosophy
The next problem client type is the one that simply never takes the advice of their attorney. After a well thought out and reasoned analysis, an attorney gives their client their best recommendations. If the lawyer sees a patter where the client simply wants to do things their own way and ignores the attorney’s advice, this client type should probably be fired. Assuming the lawyer is giving good advice, the client who continually ignores that advice is certainly headed for a bad result. Is there any question in your mind that this client will ultimately ignore the fact that they made bad decisions along the way and blame their attorney?
