How to Use Negative Feedback to your Advantage [Infographic]

Use this infographic to discover how other professionals handle negative feedback, and use their advice to benefit your practice.

In today’s day and age, it is not uncommon for someone to share their negative opinion of a product or service both online and offline. We see it all the time, from movies and online shopping to rating service providers.

For lawyers, negative feedback can present itself in several different forms, such as a bad online review, a disappointed client spreading comments through word of mouth, or even direct criticism from peers, coworkers, or supervisors.

No matter which form it takes, negative feedback can have a major impact depending on how you react.

This then begs the question, how do you react to negative feedback so it can be used to your advantage?

Do you use it as fuel, motivating you to work harder and do better next time? Or do you linger and mope over your client’s less-than-satisfactory experience? Or do you like and encourage negative feedback, using it as a roadmap towards improvement?

This reaction process is different from lawyer to lawyer.

They put their responses into a clean and simple infographic.

    Yes, but there are a law firms that really deserve negative feedback.One of the most corrupted areas of the law has to do with conservatorships and trust funds. You cannot just hire more probate lawyers and hope for the best. The only thing that should be done is to hand back stolen documents back to the defrauded beneficiary, and pass off account services to another trustee with clean hands. Just covering up for unethical lawyers is not a real solution and it can prove dangerous in some cases if the victim of the fraud becomes unhinged as there is usually no legal recourse..
