No matter what type of attorney you may be looking for, there are certain characteristics that make an attorney great at what they do. Some attorneys have these traits built into their DNA already and that may have been what led them into this field. Yet others may have learned these characteristics along the way and have developed themselves as better attorneys. And still there are those attorneys that may refuse to adjust and critique themselves throughout their career and are satisfied with mediocrity. At Henderson, Raque & Cain Law Firm in Murfreesboro, TN, we have strived to make ourselves better attorneys everyday and challenge ourselves to grow both intellectually as well as emotionally and we would like to provide you with a few traits that we believe make very successful attorneys.

Creative Thinking: A good attorney must be able to think outside of the box. Every case has their own unique circumstances and an attorney that can find creative solutions to helping their client can have much more positive outcomes.

Effective Listening: When it comes to listening, this is extremely critical. Listening to the client and being able to drill down on every detail to really understand their side of the story and uncover potential pieces of evidence even the client may not have noticed. Listening to the opposing attorney to understand where they are going with their case and to be able to better strategize how to defend against it. And listening to witnesses to uncover as many details as possible to helping our clients obtain the best possible outcomes.

Compassion: An effective attorney must have compassion in order to better understand not only where their client is coming from but also the opposing sides view point. Having compassion allows you to get a better feel for where the opposing side is going to go and allows us to prepare a better strategy.

Assertiveness: Many people get this confused with being aggressive however that couldn’t be further from the truth. Aggressiveness can rub people the wrong way including the judge, jurors or your opponent causing a lot more chaos. Assertiveness on the other hand is the ability to be confident in your strategy and approach in a charismatic way while respecting others.

These are just a few of the traits that make a top notch attorney and in many cases, focusing on growing these traits can positively impact each other and the ability to create much more positive outcomes for your clients.
