How to Figure Out Exactly What Your Clients Want
A great part of being a solo is the ability to do whatever we want, whenever we want. For me personally, this has been one of my favorite reasons for going solo. But it’s important not to forget that we need to take our client’s wants into consideration as well. Otherwise, you’ll risk quickly going out of business.

5 Solutions for Dealing with Problem Clients in Your Law Firm
The problem client. You’ve heard of them before. Maybe you’ve even experienced one in your law firm. These types of clients can manifest themselves in various ways, shapes and forms. Some examples include: “The ambivalent client,” “The needy client,” “The client that won’t pay,” “The emotional client,” “The client that won’t listen.” Imagine yourself giving a client instructions on when to have a document filled out and ready to submit, only to be met with confusion and further delays from the client. Maybe you are dealing with a client who had a decision made, but they suddenly changed their mind? Problem clients are not only destructive to themselves and their own legal issues but also have the potential to affect your firm’s productivity. Bringing in unnecessary stress.
How to Talk to Clients About Sensitive Issues
Let’s talk about words for a second. Words can help explain concepts, documents, legal mumbo jumbo, and how it plays out in the grand circle of life. But getting serious for a moment, more than once, I’ve run into people who did not want to talk about the serious and sensitive issues, like the concept of Power of Attorneys. I know people have different ideas of what comes next (legally) once a person passes on/dies/goes over the rainbow. And I really do try and be sensitive to people, it is a delicate subject. But when it comes to talking about kicking the bucket, it’s often not one of those acceptable conversation starters unless your client has an awesome sense of humor. Some clients do, but you know what they say about assuming.

5 Ways Lawyers Can Build Strong Brand Loyalty With Their Clients
Brand loyalty is imperative when it comes to the growth of your law firm, and as you would assume that makes it pretty tough to nurture and establish. According to studies, it is always cheaper to retain and reconvert exciting clients versus going out and getting new ones. But clients today are plugged into the world around them, instantly aware of your competition and the potential incentives they might be offering. While every lawyer wants to build the next legal empire or grow their practice year-over-year, most don’t realize how much it costs in time and money to get there.
What To Do When Your Firm Is Close To Losing A Big Client
There is nothing more nerve-wracking to a solo or small law firm than the prospect of losing a major client. Of course, all business relationships come to a close at some point, but especially with our larger clients, the thought of losing the security blanket that comes with them can be terrifying to most solo and small firms. It isn’t difficult to know when things are rocky (or at least have some sort of gut feeling that something is off) and we can tell that the relationship might be drawing to an end. So if you get this feeling, what should you be doing? Follow these six recommendations to help manage the potential loss of a big client.
How To Deal With Being Fired By A Client
This week I was fired by a client and I felt……relieved. Honestly! We were not seeing eye to eye and they had very unrealistic views of the potential outcome of the case, despite my many very very direct warnings. I was putting off withdrawing from the case, but I’m glad he made the decision first. Being fired by my own clients happened to me often, but I’ve definitely learned a few lessons from the experience. Here’s my advice on how to deal with being fired by a client.
