When it comes to the attitude and in-court strategy of your attorney, the \u201cbull dog\u201d style is not always the best approach. Many clients want an attorney who will combat every small point in fight mode or an attorney who has a court style that is dominating and combative.\u00a0 However, sometimes this approach can actually do more harm than good.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Not every detail is relevant and warrants a fight.\u00a0 Combativeness by your attorney may close the door to negotiations that can create a good result.\u00a0 Judges may react negatively to an overly aggressive attorney who the judge may perceive as disrespecting the judge or courtroom decorum. In the end, this can cause the court to view you more negatively rather than favorably and sometimes may even result in outright rejection of your arguments altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, an attorney who formulates a great argument and lets the strength of the argument speak for itself may well be better able to protect you and achieve the right outcome for your case. This often requires a bit more patience and a solid emotional IQ on the part of your attorney, but it almost always results in a more favorable outcome in the long run.\u00a0 It is better to have a grounded attorney than one who is caught up emotionally in the fight.<\/span><\/p>\n
