THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
TEN WAYS TO AVOID BAR DISCIPLINE .....
You can love him, you can hate him (nobody really does), but one thing we can all agree about BRIAN L. TANNEBAUM, is that he and Senator Ted Cruz were born from the same mother and father.
The Florida Bar, you know, that organization that you pay $265 to every June 1st (or at least most of you pay on time), so that you can call yourselves real lawyers, has an enormous amount of resources most of us probably never use. Most recently, the BOG created the LEGALFUEL SPEAKER SERIES and this month, one of our own, Brian Tannebaum, is the guest speaker. His topic is one that every single attorney, young and those not so young, should care about, if they want to keep on being able to pay their annual dues every single year.
Take 28 minutes out of your very busy day and watch the online video of Brian’s Ten Ways to Avoid Bar Discipline. Oh yeah - you also earn CLE credit for taking the time to watch.
Here is the link in case the video does not work (depending on the browser you are using; hint use Chrome and it will work): https://www.legalfuel.com/legalfuel-speaker-series-ten-ways-to-avoid-bar-discipline/
Two very important phone numbers we should all add to our Rolodex; (for you millennials, Contact List):

FLORIDA LAWYERS ASSISTANCE: 954-566-9040

I watched it. Brian is sooooo right about this.
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched it, but I can sum it up: 1) don't take money from your trust account; 2) send your clients an email every now and then; and 3) don't have sex with your clients. If you get caught doing any of the above, say that you're sorry, that you're depressed, that you have a drinking problem, and that you're committed to going to AA and getting help. Done.
ReplyDeleteJust saved you all a half hour.
thanks for the .5
ReplyDeleteJust watched this. His advice was to call clients on the weekends and to work on Sundays. Um...no. That's actually bad advice. That's a road to burn out, and burn out leads to bad decisions. Lawyering is our job, not our life. People, DO NOT work on the weekend. See your kids. Take your wife out for lunch. Go for a long run. Do anything on the weekend just as long as it is NOT work.
ReplyDeleteDis is vat I have been preaching for decades. But nobody listens to me until Tannebaum says dit, den everybody is like "vow, vhat how schmart is he..." makes me verrry angry people steal my vork.
ReplyDeleteBrian's presentation was excellent.
