Client Management may be the single hardest part of being a lawyer. Talk to any attorney and they will tell you this is true. Law schools do not spend enough time teaching students how to manage clients. The difference between having a happy legal career and a miserable one can come down to how a lawyer deals with their clients. I believe that any lawyer or law student who reads Client Management For Lawyers will find it useful and beneficial. "Alex Benikov has penned a critical work--the importance of client management cannot be understated for the modern legal practitioner."-Criminal defense lawyer John McBee"I am very fortunate to have met Alex Benikov as a professor at Arizona Summit Law School, and to have the chance to read his latest book on client management. Unlike Professor Benikov's law school experience our school did offer a “Client Management course”. However, this course was more based on setting up a law office, and a partnership than the more practical areas that attorneys will overlook until trouble happens. Alex Benikov's newest book “Client Management for Lawyers” is a book I would recommend for anyone in the legal community, this book shares information on a level that anyone would be able to comprehend and follow. The best part of reading “Client Management for Lawyers” is the fact I have personally witnessed Alex Benikov live by these words, and how well he interacts with clients. I highly recommend this book for any attorney who will deal with clients in the practice of law." - Civil and criminal defense lawyer Frank Schreiber "I wholeheartedly recommend this book to law students. Law school does not prepare you for how "challenging" many clients can be. Lawyers need to know how to handle difficult issues involving client management. Mr. Benikov's book will help readers start thinking about how they would deal with such clients." -Civil and criminal lawyer Karen Richman"As a practicing attorney, I have learned that there are few areas more difficult to master than client management. Clients are often intimidated when meeting with an attorney. Mr. Benikov's book lays out very effective methods of interacting with clients. Whether its tips for making clients feel more at ease or methods of taking control of certain situations, there are great approaches in the book. I would recommend the book to all law students who are serious about becoming good attorneys." -Civil lawyer Geoff Malicoat"This book should have been written a long time ago. Law schools do not spend enough time teaching students how to deal with clients. This books shows practical, down to earth approaches that every attorney can use. There is no way to make client management easy but this book will point attorneys in the right direction."-Civil lawyer H.L. Haines

Lawsuits are stressful and costly. By having a good lawyer on your side, and with the guidance in this book, you can help reduce your stress and costs and be a more effective participant in your case. Most good lawyers firmly believe in preparing their clients at the beginning of any representation for the difficulties inherent in legal processes. Nonetheless, it so very often happens that events occur during a case which cause difficulties. Perhaps they arise from the inherent limits of the system itself; perhaps they arise from the methods and strategies the lawyer employs in pursuing the client's interests; perhaps they arise from the client's own attitudes toward their own case or the opposing party. If the client is not at least "primed" to know that difficulties and frustrations frequently occur, or that there are time, cost and strategic considerations to every step in the process, the client may immediately feel that his or her lawyer is not diligently pursuing the case or is not "tough enough." If the client is already feeling that way before hearing the lawyer's explanation of the particular situation, such explanations may sound more like "excuses," needlessly undermining the lawyer-client relationship. A lawyer cannot cover with every client every potential aspect of a client's matter at the beginning of the case. This book serves as a primer and should be required reading before a lay person seeks the assistance of an attorney to address legal issues. By being better prepared for the experience of going through the legal process, you, the client will be in a position to better "hear" what your lawyer explains to you along the way; you will be in a position to stress less over the inevitable frustrations; and, you will be in a position to assist your lawyer more in pursuing and protecting your cause, and thus save costs.
