In my national survey of lawyers, lawyers on the nature of the unrealistic expectations of customers and misperceptions that have found the approach to customers or to see them. Such unrealistic expectations of the customers or the false falls into the category of "what lawyers should be paid as long as they pay for all services rendered."
Attorneys general sense is the perspective or the customer's perception of lawyers and their role has been distorted by Hollywood heroes and 50 years of Television Act. Customers who do not have regular contact with lawyers and / or their only contact with them is when in trouble, are more likely to have misconceptions about lawyers and what they do and can do for their fees. Many seem to believe that taxes should be the same or similar to a customer pay "Perry Mason" or other lawyers on television, for example: it is nothing. entertainment-oriented legislation, which is often the only resource for many consumers beliefs about lawyers and the law, rarely or never discuss fees. From a practical standpoint, would be a distraction to the viewer and taking away from the focus, action, and the flow of history.
Clients often think that the lowest published price (low-ball estimate) is the way forward. They do not want to pay what is considered the average annual deduction or charges that are considered appropriate within the profession. Therefore, they may be shocked when they compare the legal fees for the cost of a software problem not specific or complete forms that can be purchased from the store office. They also do not see why they should pay for something the lawyer "already know" this information is supposed to be something they should already know as part of their being a lawyer. After all, a lawyer, so no need to spend hours looking for case law on this issue and can simply print out a form on their computer, why should the customer pay for it.
There was an overwhelming feeling that the lawyer should not be determined. In other words, they must be free in some cases and flexibility in others. Specifically, the client seems to believe that the charges should depend on the client's cause, circumstances and ability to pay. The lawyer must charge customers less for some reason the sliding scale if it is, or that the client has a particular personal problem or did not have much money. But even those who do a lot of money to cover sometimes seem unable to understand why the lawyer must have a cradle, and to pay "adequate remuneration for their work."
There is also hope that the lawyer does not charge for the time spent searching for the event, make phone calls or write letters on behalf of the client. The idea of a lawyer billing waiting time at the court also seems out of question. There are customers who do not want to pay legal fees because the customer is not satisfied with the results binding, although these findings are the result of negotiation or compromise to which the client has accepted.
The study also suggests that lawyers have unrealistic expectations of customers and misunderstandings about what lawyers can do and should do as well as what customers can expect to achieve due to the hiring of a lawyer. This will be discussed further in other articles.
