Legal Ease
by Michael L. Hanks
Client Control
A good attorney knows how and when to control his client. While the big decisions in a case are the client’s to make (settle or not?), the attorney needs to make the client face reality and make logical decisions divorced from emotion. Candor is critical, as is honesty, respect for the attorney’s judgment and competent evaluation of the law and facts, and how they inter-relate in the particular case. Moreover, certainty in your decision is key to decision making, and an attorney needs to provide the client the confidence to move forward. If the client didn’t need such direction, he wouldn’t have hired the attorney in the first place.

They have a wide range of various energy efficiency technologies on display at the center. Lighting, heating, and cooling are some of the many topics covered in the center.
