Steven Lawrence: Working With Clients In Crisis

Managing the emotions of those who have been horribly hurt

Plaintiff attorney Steven Lawrence works with clients suffering from catastrophic injuries, life-altering disabilities, and disfigurement. Steven says "dealing with the emotions of people who have been horribly hurt" is something most lawyers aren't prepared for, and he suggests legal teams should have dedicated advocates who can work with clients in crisis. He also encourages lawyers to find healthy ways to deal with secondary trauma, including speaking with a mental health counselor.
