What does it take to be successful in this demanding field? Here are some of the qualities a top lawyers possess that you should look for in choosing who will help you or your loved ones in legal matters:

Ability to Listen:  You want a lawyer who listens to the client’s situation and is able to identify the issues that exist in the situation.   You want a lawyer who has the time to sit down with you and discuss the information of your case.

Reading the Situation:  Lawyers need to respond accordingly to whatever a situation might be.   A good lawyer should be able to understand people and their motivations and read a broad situation.  For example, when attempting to resolve a matter before it goes to litigation, a good lawyer can (a) identify what the other side is looking for in order to resolve the matter, (b) get a sense of the other side’s position – Are they bluffing?  Is the other side prepared to fight?  Is one of the parties in desperate financial straits and close to being unable to settle? and (c) sense when the time is right to strike the best possible deal for their client.

Experience:  Not all lawyers have the same experiences.  Some lawyers have never tried a case and are not willing to—make sure you ask a lot of questions to find out what types of experiences your lawyer has with your particular type of case and how it will benefit you.

Analytical Skills: A great lawyer has excellent analytical skills and is able to readily make sense of a large volume of information.  A great lawyer will see the strengths and weaknesses in a case, and will know how to use the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses as they review all the information and create strategies to best help your situation.

Creativity: A great lawyer is creative and able to think of reasonable solutions when problems and unique situations arise.

Logical Thinking Ability: A great lawyer is able to think logically and make reasonable judgments and assumptions based on information presented.
