Lawyers typically spend a significant amount of time working on cases and may be pressed for time or rushing to finalize decisions or paperwork. As a result, they can sometimes neglect the details which can lead to costly mistakes. If you ever feel like you're being overlooked by your lawyer, it's important to speak up and advocate for yourself in order to make sure your legal interests are represented.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of lawyers out there who do not put their clients' interests first. The legal system is complex and lawyers have a wide range of skills which can range from incredibly effective to absolutely abysmal. It is important that you select an attorney who is experienced in the type of case you have and has a record of success with similar cases. Once selected, it is essential that you make sure your lawyer is acting in your best interests by following up on case progress and being aware of any potential red flags so that they can be rectified. Keep records (calendar events, emails, photos etc.) as documentation can be instrumental later down the line if things do not go as planned. Furthermore, if the need arises where negligence or malpractice was involved then consulting an attorney ethics expert on what steps should be taken next would likely be necessary for recourse against the lawyer in question.
