Lawyer Hiring Mistakes | A Quantitative study on Dutch Court Cases

The problem with instructing lawyers by recommendation

Most of us have traditionally found and instructed a lawyer via the same route, the recommendation of a colleague or friend or golf buddy.

“Hey Jim, I got a real problem with some litigation, know anyone who can help?”

“Sure, Bob Anstee is just your man, lives near me and plays off a 5 handicap”

Bob (not his real name) gets his latest instruction, without paying a penny in marketing and clearly without disclosing the fact he is serial loser in court. He doesn’t want the world to know he’s had 4 consecutive losses in front of this judge but thankfully, Premonition is on hand to alert the unsuspecting client.
