You want to ensure you utilize your lawyers strategically, inning after inning, matter after matter.

You will better manage each matter’s batting or lineup order when you constantly evaluate your lawyers’ strengths and areas for improvement, and prevent yourself from reaching out for the same lawyer or randomly choosing someone because of convenience.

To continue to hit your home runs, tune in to After It Rains, video #14, and you will always put your best team forward.
