            A note from Matthew W. Delezenne regarding the difference between “aggressive” lawyering and effective, client-based, legal service:

            “We often hear lawyers describe themselves as ‘aggressive.’ Sometimes, it seems as if ‘aggressive’ were the only term a client needs to know when selecting an attorney. Unfortunately, this is not accurate, and is often not in the best interest of the client. Far too often, being ‘aggressive’ really means the attorney over-works the case – and bills the client for the excess – with little regard for achieving the goal that the client hired the attorney to achieve in the first place, such as an amicable divorce, a low-cost plea deal in a criminal matter, or a quick settlement of a civil lawsuit.
            “I pride myself on focusing on achieving the result that is in the client’s best interest, at the lowest cost and in the shortest time reasonably possible. My litigation and trial experience clearly demonstrate that I can be as aggressive as any attorney. But if ‘aggressive’ lawyering will not best suit the needs and desired outcome of the client, then it is not the appropriate way in which to address the case.
            “In other words, the client is always best served by the most effective attorney, which is not necessarily the most aggressive.”
