As an attorney, I feel it is important for my clients to understand the legal issues involved in their cases.  That is why I always focus on the details of every case and for every client.  I always sit down with every new client and listen to the whole story.  It is only with knowing the history of the client and the legal issue that an attorney can properly explain options to a client..
