The lesson here is attention to detail matters.

I’ve seen some pretty bad motions, briefs, and even website content written by lawyers over the years.  Surprisingly, many of them come from more “seasoned” attorneys.  One possible explanation could be that they’re too comfortable and letting their standards drop or that they’re letting associates or paralegals do their work without checking.  If you’re a new or solo attorney, one way to stand out, to your clients, other attorneys or in court, is to pay attention to details.

Spell check your work.  Grammar check your work.  Proofread your work.  Details.
