As a professional and independent attorney with 20-year

track record, Michael LeRoy knows making good first

impression with prospective clients. Demonstrating that

you have all of the tools required to undertake the task is

important, so consider these points before attending that

first meeting.

Do Your Research

You should understand everything that it is possible to

understand about a client before any formal meeting. Research

the company that they are involved in and what they have

achieved on both a personal and professional level. This does

not mean that you should speak over them or assume that you

know what they require. However, it does show that you are

willing to learn and use that knowledge to their advantage.

Present Yourself Well

Your attire and appearance are crucial when making a first

impression. Ensure you are well-groomed and that you look

professional. This is particularly important in the legal

profession, as if you don’t aim to impress the client, they

may think that you are unable to present properly in court.

Your Attitude

You must be able to put any stresses or issues to the back

of your mind when first meeting a client. Greet them with a

smile but do not be disingenuous. Be honest in your

interactions and confident in your body language. This

emits a feeling a professionalism that the potential client

will pick up on.

Speak Clearly

Be concise and use language that the client can

understand. Be sure to explain terminology that may not be

common knowledge to people outside of the profession

and take care not to mumble.
