August CLE: Being Nice Pays - Interacting With Opposing Counsel To Get the Best Results for Your Clients

Being Nice Pays.  Interacting with opposing counsel can obtain the best results for your clients. There is a perception in the legal profession that tough, aggressive lawyers are the smartest most successful lawyers.  Plaintiff's personal injury trial lawyer Katie James has taken the opposite approach in her practice. Her position is to always be the friendliest, most helpful person in the room (or on an email thread). She has found, and science has proven, that being nice truly does pay off.
