Why people hate lawyers

No offense to used car salesmen and politicians, but lawyers are just about as popular. More than 20 years of legal experience has taught us that there are 2 main reasons why people hate lawyers:

1. Unresponsiveness — My lawyer doesn’t return my calls. arrow Read

Lack of timely response is a huge frustration for clients. Your attorney is supposed to be there for you when needed. For us, this is a no brainer. Every client is important to us. We understand that if you don’t get the service you need, you will leave us. We are committed to making sure that does not happen. Your phone calls and e-mails will receive a prompt, personal reply.
While this common courtesy seems difficult for many law firms, especially larger ones, it’s simply the way we do business. We’ll treat you as you treat your valued clients. It’s the least we can do.

2. Unpredictable fees arrow Read

If you have ever hired a lawyer, you know the awful moment when the bill arrives in the mail. You open the envelope as though it were Oscar night, nervously, because you don’t know what to expect.

We think that is a strange way to do business. Our approach is different. We offer you an array of flexible options to meet your needs and discuss costs ahead of time so you can make informed decisions.

Hourly billing
We will obtain your approval before undertaking a task
We will let you know, up front, how much time we think it will take
We will not go ahead without your approval

Project billing
We will quote you a price for a project
No surprises: when you open the bill, it will cost what we said it would cost

Retainer program
For a fixed monthly payment, we will be your human resources support team
Unlimited calls
Unlimited expert advice
No more worry about unknown legal fees


Albrecht Labor & Employment Law is different. We’ll respond promptly and we’ll charge a fair, predictable fee and offer flexible arrangements for payment.

We can’t stop the lawyer jokes or change the image of the profession, but we can promise this: prompt response, expert advice and a commitment to helping you solve problems as quickly and easily as possible.
