Stress test; avoiding troublesome clients can make a lawyer's life easier

Article Abstract:

Divorce lawyers need to realize that family law can be an emotional specialty and take steps to weed out the most difficult clients during the initial interview. Clients to be avoided include those who go from one lawyer to another, vindictive clients, clients so emotionally upset that they seem in need of psychotherapy more than legal help and clients who expect to accomplish things too fast. Attorneys who avoid these types of clients will suffer less job stress.
