Don't Lose Would-Be Clients from a Call

By Katherine G. Erdel, Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP

In this recent blog post, experienced family law attorney and prolific blogger Lee Rosen talks about his own experience trying to hire an attorney. It is shocking, really, to me that it took him three tries before he found an attorney willing and able to help him in a timely fashion. But, more important than Lee’s anecdotal experience is the checklist at the end of his post that can help us all to get and stay on top of communications from clients and would-be-clients. Even as young lawyers, or maybe especially as young lawyers, it is critical for us to be available, responsive and attentive to others – you just never know where that next (or first) big client will come from.
