Brett Trout over at Blawgit wrote a great article about how to maintain an amicable relationship with your lawyer.
The advice is timeless and works for all professionals service providers. Ultimately it comes down to setting and acknowledging boundaries.
Brett discusses “violations” of the attorney client relationship:
If the violations stem from the nature of your business and/or you are an otherwise good client, most attorneys will overlook most of these issues. Unfortunately, once you have pushed too far, it is unlikely the relationship will ever recover. All too often, clients do not realize what they have lost until they go looking for a replacement. If you think finding a good attorney is hard, try finding one after being fired by your last attorney.
It’s a good read – check it out!
Thanks to @DebraTuomey for the tip!

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone.

If you do not have reciprocal respect, you can't actually have a relationship. It is as simple as that.
