Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I had a client who was charged with a DUI first offense and his entire life was on the line becaue he was a semi-truck driver. I believed he was innocent based on his story, and we took the case to trial. We ended up getting a not guilty verdict, thus saving his career, his family (he had a 4-year old daughter and wife to take care of) and we have become friends and still are to this day.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
SHOP AROUND. Talk to as many lawyers as you can. I cannot stress this enough. You'll know when you've found the right one. LISTEN to how the lawyer speaks and HOW they phrase their sentences -- which direction are they immediately pulling you in? It'll all be intuitive on your part; no need to overthink things -- You'll FEEL it.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
There is only one: How many trials have you had?
If the answer is zero, move on -- IMMEDIATELY.
Note: I did not say "won," because I have had my fair share of "losses" that were still better than the original offer. That is always a WIN.
