Three issues facing a Lawyer
Lawyers face challenges in their day to day lives and are forced to work around them to make sure that they are the best lawyer that they can be. Lawyers face many challenges but the challenges of conflicting home and work priorities, dealing with clients that are very difficult and having to work under high stress are the main challenges that a doctor face.
Firstly, the challenge of conflicting home and work priorities becomes a huge issue. Lawyers are very busy people in their day to day lives and usually end up having conflicts between their priorities that they have for work and the priorities that they have for home. Lawyers work on multi-day 24 hour clocks to close deals with tight deadlines. Lawyers also lose many days and many months preparing and conducting for any hearings that they may have. Many lawyers have said that running your own law firm can be like running a marathon as your a constantly on the go and trying to come up with your case. For lawyers their family time can be chaos their time that they have to rest, demanding your time and energy just as you return home and anticipate rest as kids and doing house chores and trying to help out your significant other. Doing work at home for a Lawyer is a great challenge as it is very hard to do with all of the home as meeting deadlines is very important in a lawyer's everyday job to keep meeting deadlines as that's what makes the lawyer a great and efficient one. The challenge of managing your work priorities and home priorities is a huge problem when it comes to being a lawyers but the pay evens it out.
Secondly, the challenge of dealing with clients is very crucial for a lawyer to be successful. Lawyers come across many hard to deal with and difficult clients throughout their time being a lawyer and sometimes can become a challenge. Some clients tend to come off as rude because they want the lawyer to win them the case adding extra pressure on the lawyer as not only is the client being a bit of a douche but is also adding extra pressure to the lawyer. Lawyers rely on the client to give them their full honesty and accurate information for the lawyer to come up with the best and possible defense. If the clients tend to be difficult and not trust the lawyer and give inaccurate information the lawyer can look very foolish in court. Clients that tend to be difficult can make a lawyer's very angry and the lawyer can sometimes lose their trust in the client due to behavior making it a challenge on them to defend a client that you have zero trust in. For a lawyer losing a client even though they may be difficult is a major loss as there has already been tons of money and time put into creating a file and case for the client and losing the client even though they may be difficult to work with is a lose-lose situation. Keeping a difficult client is basically just as costly as losing it because of everything that has already been done in defending the client like coming up with the case and putting money into the investigation to come out with proof.
Thirdly, high stress is a challenge for all lawyers as you are constantly under pressure to come up with the best case. Meeting deadlines put a lot of pressure on lawyers that can lead to them constantly being stressed out as they have to meet their deadlines when submitting files and coming up with a case. Long hours at work and demands from clients can lead to a lawyer being under pressure and put a great deal of stress on the lawyer. Coping with the stress is something every lawyer has to do to make sure that they are the best lawyer that they can be. Other things that can lead to a lawyer being stressed out is all the competition that they may have in the field of law. Lawyers all around are constantly making sure that they are the ones getting all the business and that causes stress because you always have to watch out for the other law firms and always have to try and one up them to make sure that you get all the business. Lawyers also experience high stress when the become desperate trying to find facts and evidence to come up with the best case to make sure that their client comes out on top. Even when defending your client, lawyers face tons of criticism when their client may be found guilty, constantly keeping the lawyers under high stress. Experiencing high levels of stress becomes common to some lawyer but will always remain a challenge to many as coping with the stress can become a major challenge.
To conclude, being a lawyer comes with many benefits in life but there are many downs to it. Many challenges occur in the workplace of a lawyer and it is up to them to deal with these challenges to make sure that they are the best they can be. Conflicting home and work priorities, dealing with clients that are very difficult and having to work under high stress remain to be the hardest of the many challenges a lawyer has to face in their day to day jobs.
