The most difficult aspect of my practice is to explain to a client why a settlement offer is reasonable and their case is not worth as much as they think.

It’s important to manage expectations, but some clients are just whacko.
So it’s also important to screen out the crazies. Which is kinda hit or miss, but one red flag to watch out for is if the potential client seems to think that he or she knows the law.
In the initial conference, if the client uses legal words or phrases, look out.
Also, if the client seems overly confident that he or she is in the right, be careful.
Last, if the client has already done significant legal work alone (or with another attorney) be careful.

Is there a more critical activity for lawyers than proper management of client expectations?
