The Essential Formbook Volume 1 (Table of Contents)
Gary A. Munneke and Anthony E. Davis
The purpose of this work is to help individual lawyers, and law firms of all sizes, accomplish a fundamental goal: to serve clients better. That may seem redundant—don’t lawyers always try to give good service? In our experience the answer to that question is both “yes” and “no.” “Yes” because lawyers aspire to give good service; “no” because the level of service even individual lawyers give to different clients often diverges greatly, whether in solo practice or in large, multioffice law firms. One client may receive optimum attention and quality at all times, while another may feel—and sometimes may be—neglected or, worse, ignored. This book is intended to help you structure and manage your law practice to achieve two fundamental goals: service to clients and making law practice profitable.
