Tweets on Law Practice

Matthew Homann, at the [non]billable hour, has published  100 Tweets: Thinking About Law Practice in 140 Characters or Less (pdf).  His advice is terrific. Here are some of my favorites:

1. “My lawyer can beat up your lawyer” is not a marketing strategy. “My lawyer will call me back before yours will” is. 

8. The most significant advantage you possess over lawyers who’ve come before you is that you don’t believe what they do. 

16. The confused mind always says no. 

28. You should never have a bigger monitor or more comfortable chair than your secretaries do. 

53. Never confuse your desire to explain something with yourability to do so. 

84. Trying to learn client service in ethics class is like trying to learn to ride a bicycle by watching lots of bike accidents. 

By the way, on Twitter, I’m “@pbfriedman.”
