Do you ever make silly mistakes like forwarding a document to the client without checking (thought it was a final) and there was a footnote for your attention. Hate myself for doing that. So dumb

If you find yourself making this kind of mistake repeatedly, consider putting a 2 minute delay on all of your outgoing emails so that you can stop it if you notice something right after you hit send.

The billing guidelines for my client say they will not pay for parking or speeding tickets if you get one on a trip for them (I’m serious). Every warning has a story to tell, but I guess this is why people don’t like lawyers?

Is it important to offer support staff that speak a foreign language or is it sufficient if the attorney can communicate with the client? We had one bilingual paralegal and another who is not. The bilingual one left us some time ago.

Thus, we are left with one who can’t communicate with about 25% of our clients. And there just isn’t enough revenue to support two paralegals despite my partner pushing us to hire.
