A personal injury case is not only going to be emotional for the client. The attorney is also going to bring their own emotions to the case. While it is important to remain objective and focused on obtaining the best outcome for the client, the attorney is also human. When you are working as an associate in a law firm, you may not have control over choosing clients. This is often left to senior associates or partners. As a result, you may have a case that goes against your personal values. You can use this opportunity to show you are self-aware and also that you know your limits on effectively advocating for a client.
