One of the best lawyers I’ve ever met, killing it financially in a super busy small firm he owned, dressed in kind of shabby sport coats, was part of a regular guy persona. Clients just loved this guy. Even I kinda liked him. Oversized chummy ex football player, just so genuinely happy and friendly. Made more money than alot of big firm lawyers. Very effective litigator. Depends on clientele.
If you’ve ever seen A MARRIAGE STORY on Netflix, I thought it was kind of beautiful how the successful wealthy guy goes downscale with divorce lawyers, winds up in old Alan aldas office who’s wearing Velcro shoes, looks like he came from a thrift store, cheesy office.
Good lawyer tho.
Everything about our appearance is masks and costumes. For substance though, perhaps look to Ralph waldo Emerson:
The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape.
