Advice for Up and Coming Lawyers: -Know what you know and what you don't know
-Don't take cases in areas you don't know
-Stick to what you know.
Transcription For new attorneys I would say it’s really important to be extremely careful and know what you know and know what you don’t know and don’t take cases in areas you don’t know. Or you’ll have no experience and it’s just a dangerous trap. Stick to what you know. You can’t have expertise in everything. Anyone who tells me they practiced law and they will take any case to represent people in any area they’re sitting on a cake of dynamite. I only take cases within my area of expertise. I don’t care what people are willing to pay me, high profile or not it’s got to be within my area. That’s what we know that’s what we do well and anything else is very dangerous to handle. That would be my advice for new attorneys. You have to be careful in what you take. Better to say no to the wrong case so that you can say yes to the right case.
