1) Stop ignoring your lawyer's e-mails. Unless you'd prefer jackbooted IRS thugs beating in your door with a battering ram, that is.
2) Learn the difference between "urgent" and "not urgent." "Urgent" means "we are meeting in an hour." "Urgent" does not mean "do this right now, and when you give this back to me, opposing counsel plans to sit on his ass daydreaming about golf season for the next three weeks instead of reading this."
3) "Please" and "thanks" will get you my prompt undivided attention. "Why the hell should I pay lawyers any more than my plumber" will get you nowhere fast.
