If you are seeing a lawyer because your dispute is \u201cnot about the money, but about the principle of the thing\u201d don\u2019t be surprised if your lawyer runs away. You can never be satisfied. Also, it\u2019s really about the money.

Your case\/matter is the most important thing happening to you right now. It is not the most important thing happening to your lawyer right now. It may not even be in his top ten.

If you think your lawyer is trying to kill your deal, remember this: though there may only be a \u201cone percent\u201d chance your deal will go bad, your lawyer sees that \u201cone percent\u201d over and over again. She\u2019s looking out for you. She cares about you and your business. She also doesn\u2019t want her malpractice premiums to go up.

You want to buy results, not time. Most lawyers sell time, not results. Make sure you both understand the difference before your first bill arrives. You will certainly understand the difference after.

If you want to find a lawyer who sells results, look hard. There are a few of them out there. They are the ones who can still smile because they get to see their children before 9:00 at night.

Make sure your lawyer understands your business. If your lawyer doesn\u2019t understand your business, find out if he\u2019s going to learn about it on his time, or yours.

You are your lawyer\u2019s boss. You are not her only boss. She has hundreds of other bosses too. Each one of them thinks their matter is more important than yours.

How messy is your lawyer\u2019s desk? When they bill you for thirty minutes of \u201cfile review,\u201d how much of that time was spent looking for your file?

When you call a lawyer for the first time, how long does it take for him to return your calls? After you hire that lawyer, expect it to take at least three times as long. Same goes for e-mails.

Does your lawyer have reputation for being a \u201cbulldog?\u201d That probably means they are an asshole. To everyone.

Look for a lawyer with a technology IQ no more than fifty points less than yours. If you live in e-mail and your lawyer doesn\u2019t, learn to like your mail carrier.

You wouldn\u2019t automatically marry the first person you date, so don\u2019t automatically hire the first lawyer you see. A great lawyer-client relationship can last a lifetime. Your lawyer can be your advisor, counselor, confidant, and friend. Find one you like, stick with him or her, and spread the word. Oh, and stop telling lawyer jokes. They aren\u2019t really that funny.
