🗣️ When lawyer & client disagree: Navigating case strategy conflicts

Ever wonder what happens when YOU think one way but your lawyer suggests another? The ultimate dilemma: Client wants to include questionable damages or push certain arguments, but your experienced attorney knows it might hurt your case.

Hard conversations are essential in these moments. In property claims vs personal injury cases, these conflicts present differently:

• Property claims: Clients often want full recovery beyond policy limits

• Personal injury: Focus on documented injuries vs subjective complaints

• Family heirlooms: Sentimental value vs actual replacement cost

What's your lawyer's ethical responsibility? To have honest conversations about strategy while respecting your wishes when possible.

Remember: Understanding your insurance policy is CRUCIAL! Know what mediation, arbitration and appraisal actually mean before your claim.
