Felice Kirsh can be seen providing advice on how to be a good client and have the best relationship possible with your estate litigation lawyer on AdvocateDailyTV. Her tips include:
- The client should be organized. At the initial consult meeting, the client should start from the beginning and provide the lawyer with a general overview of the facts. It is especially helpful when the client brings a chronology of the facts, a family tree and/or the court documents. These documents help the lawyer understand the facts and legal issues, and what they can do to help the client.
- The client should be receptive to the lawyer's advice.
- The client should understand that there are good and bad aspects of his or her case.
