Potential clients rarely know the strength of their case when seeking to hire an attorney. Time involved, the stress litigation brings, and whether the financial and emotional cost is worthwhile are valid concerns a potential client should weigh before choosing to engage in litigation. This requires an in-depth assessment of their entire case, while initial consultations afford enough time to only provide a general opinion.  

 

Although attorneys state that they cannot guarantee results, when the outcome is less favorable than clients anticipate, they become dissatisfied and frequently blame their attorney, when in actuality, they did not perceive the weaknesses in their case.

 

Potential clients need an objective understanding of the likelihood of winning their case when making an informed decision to pursue the action. It is easier to manage the expectations of a client who enters litigation knowing what to anticipate, which leads to higher satisfaction with their legal representation.
