Following on with Hugh MacLeod’s ‘manifesto’ theme, this from lawyer Matt Homann. Gems include:
- How messy is your lawyer’s desk? When they bill you for thirty minutes of “file review,†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 “bulldog?†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’t, learn to like your mail carrier.
These could equally apply to professional accountants.
