There are all sorts of lessons to be learned by reading the New York Times obituary of Frank Strickler, a lawyer who represented one of the Watergate defendants in the Nixon administration. Strickler got the gig by answering the phone in the middle of the night while he was on vacation. Lawyers, do you pick up then? Would your prospective, in –need client be channeled to voicemail? How do you make sure your name is on someone’s emergency short list to call? Are you ready for a high-stakes, publicity-laden case? Is your staff? Can it handle the media attention and prospective negative public opinion? Is your office sufficiently secure?
