Inexperienced lawyers tend to see matters in black and white, often missing the innumerable shades of gray. They sometimes lack the true confidence that comes with experience and permits creativity. A lawyer's accessibility can be another barrier. Lawyers who do not return phone calls or keep clients fully informed are not serving their clients well. And perhaps the most important, ultimately, is the client's trust and level of comfort with his or her lawyer.
Law can be complex and intimidating.
It is the responsibility of the lawyer to guide the client through the complexities of the system with intelligence and respect.
