Jeff shares his expertise on why this relationship is sacred and how a good lawyer should know their client's life details intimately, often better than the client themselves. We address common misconceptions about attorney responsibilities and highlight the importance of clients being proactive and well-informed to ensure effective representation. Jeff offers anecdotes and practical advice to help listeners understand the mutual responsibilities necessary for a successful legal partnership.
