I was talking to a client the other day and I told her that I couldn't wait to get a cup of coffee as my morning was super busy. The next day she brought me a cup of coffee from Dunkin donuts. That made my day.

That's incredibly kind. We all need more of those happy acts of kindness in our days, don't we?!

Absolutely. It really meant the world to me!!

Isn't she the sweetest client. Give props to yourself. It's also because you have been a very good vet for them.

She's so sweet and considerate. I hope all clients are like her :)

That's awesome. It will also make my day if I were in your shoes. Glad you have a kind client like her.

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
