Matt writes a very interesting legal blog where he wants to “Revolutionize the practice of law, one lawyer at a time”. He asked me to write about 5 things a lawyer could do to help entrepreneurs. One was:
Don’t just keep track of the hours you spend with me, think value. There is nothing that gets me more angry than receiving an bill from an attorney for a tenth of an hour. When an attorney does this I think they are more interested in their time than the value they can bring to my business. I would rather have the attorney make their rate higher and not charge me for these short phone calls. Although I know all the attorney has to sell is their time, please disguise it a bit better. It makes me feel better.
