The other day I delivered an oral argument that was powerful, persuasive and perfectly on point - only to realize with dismay that nobody was listening but me.
This happens more often than I'd care to admit. The Fixer in me gets so wrapped up in trying to fix other people and tell them what to do that I don't even notice when they're no longer there.
I read an article the other day that said "It is well-recognized that often, when an attorney sues a client for unpaid fees, the client will bring a counterclaim for legal malpractice. Some sources indicate the likelihood of receiving such a counterclaim could be as high as 40%; others place it even higher." Count Lawyers Mutual in the "even higher" group.
Lawyers build their careers on helping people solve problems. Clients come to lawyers seeking solutions to issues they can't handle on their own. Lawyers' dedication to helping others extends beyond the courtroom.
Lawyers Mutual is proud to announce that Patrick Brown has been named Director of Information Security. Patrick joined Lawyers Mutual in 2011 and has previously served in roles of relationship manager and underwriter.
