Do You Have Your Houston Attorney On Speed Dial?
I was watching last night's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where Larry David, the star, and creator of the show, asks his doctor for his home phone number because it will make him feel better. The doctor is befuddled by his request. He can not think of a response other than I do not give out my home phone number to patients, but after Larry pleads for the home number he finally gives in and instructs his secretary to provide him with the phone number. I do not think anyone would think to request their doctor's home phone number anymore. I would not even consider asking any of my doctors for their mobile phone numbers.
On the other hand, my clients do not hesitate to ask me for my mobile phone number. Additionally, when I am not in the office my staff provides my cellular phone number so anyone may talk to me about their case. My feeling is that a client should be able to reach their Houston criminal defense attorney when they want to talk about their case. I guess that is one of the many differences between doctors and lawyers.
