Listen to Your Attorney After You Ask a Question

After you ask a question on a legal position or strategy, listen to the explanation and take notes. Even better, record the conversation. Unless the lawyer is being paid by the hour, no attorney wants to waste time explaining the same thing numerous times.

Before you hang up or leave a meeting, ask questions. If you don't understand it, ask the attorney to put it in layman's terms. After you get home, if you have additional questions, ask.

However, there is no excuse to have to ask the same question 5 times over numerous weeks because you don't listen and take notes.

A Work-Life Balance is Necessary in All Professions

https://www.healthyfoodhouse.com/experts-say-people-over-40-should-only-work-3-days-a-week/

The balance between work and everyday enjoyment should be a goal for employees and employers.

The last paragraphs of the article concede that 25-40 hours per week are ideal.  Anything over 40 may decrease productivity.

Of course, as long as wages are held artificially low, those at the bottom of the income scale need to work beyond 40 hours. However, that can be changed with a mandatory minimum wage that is tied to inflation and the cost of living.

This Firm has decreased its hours to allow for this work-life balance. It has also eliminated weekend and extended office hours for routine calls and inquiries. Therefore, if you are looking for legal services or if you are a returning client, please take this into consideration.
