Having successfully represented several " celebrity" clients over the years, and having both written and published about this type of legal representation on numerous occasions, I have come to the conclusion that there are basically 4 irrefutable tips to follow in deciding when to decline representation:
1. Avoid the client who refuses to be the "client", and also wants to be your co-counsel. This is a terrible mistake that almost never works well.
2. Avoid the client who wants guarantees. There are few, if any at all, guarantees in the law.
3. Avoid the client who seems to be untruthful with you ( his or her attorney). Disaster awaits with this unholy representation.
4. Avoid the client who insists on trying the case in the media. This tactic rarely helps the case; and, it could possibly destroy your client's reputation.
