I couldn ’ t agree more . Again , even if it was a close call , it ’ s still a miss .
Other examples might include responding to an email too quickly or agreeing to take a matter on before giving any thought to whether you can actually meet the client ’ s needs or work effectively with this new client . It could be giving legal advice in a vacuum because you didn ’ t take the time to gather all the information you would need to know if your advice would actually be accurate .
Regardless , I do understand why sometimes we all feel like it might be worth shooting from the hip , be it in our personal or professional lives . I will readily admit that I ’ ve done it more than a few times in my life . Time crunches happen ; and when they do , I try to stop , take a breath , and ask myself this : If I take that quick shot from the hip , is close enough an acceptable outcome or will I have only solved the problem for the short term and potentially created a bigger problem in the end ? It ’ s a question all of us legal hombres need to keep in mind because , particularly in the practice of law , accuracy matters , bigtime .
