Analytical Ability is an attribute which tops the list. A lawyer has to view the relevance from the huge pile of information which is extracted throughout the proceedings of the case. Once the relevance is seen, an appropriate sorting of the information based on the stature of the case is to be performed. This is a task that can only be performed if the lawyer has exceptional analytical ability.

There are various other attributes that play a significant role, in the making of a competent lawyer such as their creativity, research skills and ability to think logically, to name few. An assessment which is based on these parameters should be carefully conducted, so that the choice you make proves out to be beneficial.

Just as you as a client are expected to be truthful to your lawyer for a better result, you should expect your lawyer to be complementing you by telling you the position you are in and not hide facts which could be detrimental to your interest. Seek answers to certain questions which would give you an idea about the honesty of your lawyer.

The key to a successful case

For a solicitor to structure out a case specific work protocol, it is extremely important to have a crystal clear view of the whole situation. The expertise of your lawyer can only be extracted for your benefit, if the information you share helps him pen-portrait the situation accurately.

A lawyer would be having many clients and the client needs to understand that and should keep all his / her appointments made with the lawyer. The client should come prepared with information/documents. Make efficient use of the time by preparing a list of questions before hand and listen carefully to what the lawyer explains about how the law affects the client.

Making an effort, to help your lawyer sight a realistic view for developing a pragmatic and productive approach to the case is extremely important. The high bars on the imperativeness of the issue can be catered to straightforwardly. All that needs to be done, is “BEING HONEST” while conversing with your solicitor.

There is a trend of self interpreting the relevance of the things to be told, and the ones which shouldn’t be vocalised. Communicating about all the things pertaining to the case without any hesitance and trusting the solicitor for the interpretation of the “relevance quotient” proves to be beneficial. Narrating your side of the story honestly and completely, while conversing with your solicitor, before the commencement of the legal proceedings, helps to a great extent.

An honest and a complete conversation with your solicitor is the key to any and every successful case.
