How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

It is a gift to be able to think and speak on one's feet or without a script and to ask the right questions. Oddly enough, this also helps you in drafting and writing because you can anticipate the issues that will arise. The same confidence allows you to draft in plain language.

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

Research the legal issue but most of all organize your facts. I research everything and then I use that knowledge to hire a proffesional who will be often be able to help me best owing to my own investigation and most efficiently if I have organized the facts. Chronoligical ordering of facts is an easy productive approach. So much of what we do is knowing what facts matter and for what purpose, and how to present them and how the process operates

Is your firm willing to review documents prepared by clients?

I am glad to as long as the presentation and amount are reasonable an they are organized in some way. Again, Chronological order is so helpful.

Is your firm willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

I always coach on manner and demeanor and on keeping to the questions asked and especially, how not to let the opposing interrogator rattle or bully you. In criminal cases, I will very seldom want to put my client on the stand. In civil matters, I always tell my clients to tell the truth because in addtion to the ehtical and legal problems with lying, most peoeple are only hurting their cause by lying. The truth will come out and it is often the case that with the truth I can actually help them. Peoepl tend to see the "truth" in a very judgmental way and I can tell you that I can show you the same truth and argue it for my client.
