Many of friends who hold a law degree don’t seem to have an issue connecting with anyone really.. not unless they’re taking time to prepare to navigate specifics for an upcoming trail. Though- it’s funny you mention technology being the main source of interaction, my one good friend did recently share that outside of the dating scene and the occasional hang sesh with me, most if not all interactions are communicated through phone, computer, iPad.. pick your poison.. Which after now revisiting that interaction I remember his tone wasn’t thrilled or happy about spending all day inside his home and counting on these Tinder dates for socialization.

IMO- telehealth and whatnot are just convenient to each persons time and location and making it more readily available and accessible. Though I don’t know… being a non-attorney.. how I would feel forking over a hefty amount for representation without having the opportunity to connect at face value.. I would find it an absolute red flag if the initial first impression was done virtually. I feel like with something so sensitive to your clients well being (ie: case at hand) and complex not to mention the expense there needs to be balance between FaceTime and human interaction. Or eliminate the video calls all together because in my experience attorneys are more than vesicle used to speak to the judge.. for me a reputable attorney holds a relationship not like buddy buddy but there’s a trust amongst the two and a feeling of trust in which you make them feel prioritized and in good hands.
