Credibility -- with Client and Adversary
Most experienced and highly respected matrimonial lawyers will agree that the single most important ingredient to bring any case to a successful conclusion is credibility. But, simple as it sounds, credibility is not achieved overnight. For a lawyer, it takes years of honest candor to develop. For a client, it is simply being fair and honest. It is what makes a weak case strong, and the lack of it makes a strong case weak.
Among the values of credibility is the ability to bring a case to a satisfactory conclusion, whether by settlement or by trial. Credibility is a two-way street between client and attorney. The client must have respect for the attorney's advice; and the attorney must recognize the truthfulness and good faith of the client.
