Reply To: Wait time in Dr.’s office

@funnybone
It is highly unusual for a client to have to wait for me. Unlike a physician, most of my client contact is by phone, email, fax, etc.
Should a client have a short wait before being shown into my office (generally caused by my doing something to facilitate the meeting) the client would be offered coffee, cake, a cold drink or snack. I can’t remember the last time a client was made to wait more than 10 minutes for an office appointment with me.
BUT, unlike Mentsch1, I see less clients in the office in a week than he does in a typical afternoon. I’m far more likely to meet with associates, paralegals, investigators, accountants or other attorneys on my clients’ behalf than with the client during representation. There are many clients who I never see from retainer to resolution.
