βCommon Questions
Q.What is the best way to deliver a belated apology to my lawyer?
The best method depends on the relationship and severity. For minor delays, a professional email or call suffices. For more significant matters, a brief, sincere in-person apology followed by a concise email can be appropriate. Always keep it professional and to the point.
Q.Should I explain why my apology is belated?
Briefly, if appropriate and professional. A simple 'Life got in the way,' or 'I was dealing with an unexpected matter' is usually sufficient. Avoid lengthy excuses; focus more on expressing sincere regret and rectifying the situation, if possible.
Q.What if the lawyer seems upset or the apology isn't well-received?
Acknowledge their feelings, if expressed, without becoming defensive. Reiterate your apology and offer to do what you can to mitigate any negative impact. Sometimes, all you can do is sincerely apologize and give them space. Focus on moving forward professionally.
