I think the advice that I I repeat to my
clients and it tends to be early on in
the case is that I’ve come to develop
three rules of my representation that I
find are tried and true and the first
rule is that you need to tell me the
truth I mean it seems obvious everything
you tell me is confidential you should
feel free to tell me the truth but not
everybody does because there’s certain
facts maybe you don’t want to come out
but when they do come out if I don’t
know them I can’t help you as well so
you need to tell me the truth and the
second rule is you need to take my
advice which again seems obvious because
you’re paying me to give you advice but
in the emotional sort of Journey of a
divorce there’s often times where
clients are afraid to take the advice or
they second guess it because of how
they’re feeling and that’s natural but
it’s important to take my advice because
I’ve been down this road and I know how
it plays out and the third rule is to
pay my bill you know and I have found
that I think it was probably seven eight
years into my practice where I wondered
you know what happens what are the
common denominators in cases cases that
go really well and cases that go south
and I found that in the cases that went
South these were the common denominators
you know when I didn’t know the truth
when when they didn’t follow my advice
or they didn’t pay my bill those are the
cases that didn’t go well for the
clients but when they did all those
three things 99% of the time um their
cases went well so this is what I tell
my clients so that they can kind of know
the expectations going in and kind of
stay the course through their through
the case
