Lawyers like
Evan Granowitz of CA work for clients who are emotionally hard-pressed as a result of unfortunate events, such as personal injury, a messy divorce, or unexpected bankruptcy. In such situations, lawyers need to understand a bit of psychology to represent their clients effectively. This blog entry discusses some ways that lawyers can do to act as reliable guardians of their clients’ cause.
•
Listening. Raymond David, a psychologist who coaches lawyers on the use of emotional intelligence, suggests that lawyers should try to spend two-thirds of their time listening and one-third talking. He adds that a good listening technique is something that lets somebody speak for a whole five minutes and then the listener paraphrases back what was said.
Included in the practice areas of Atty. Evan Granowitz of CA are Native American law and insurance coverage disputes.
•
Recognizing the clients’ emotions. Having to acknowledge the clients’ emotions is helpful in obtaining essential details for the case. Ignoring their emotions will just make the clients become more agitated, resulting to squeezing out of information. A simple way of acknowledging the clients’ emotions is by saying words like: “I know that you’re feeling enraged by the situation.”
•
Using simple language. Explaining the law in plain language can help calm emotionally upset clients. Also, using a language that the clients clearly understand is a way of keeping lawyers out of harm’s way and reducing the risk of negligence lawsuits.
