| Turning the Tables: Doctors Sue Lawyers Over Letters of Protection | Top |
| It used to be that plaintiffs lawyers were the ones representing clients who sued doctors in Texas. Now, some doctors are turning the tables, hiring lawyers to sue other plaintiffs attorneys when the doctors' medical invoices allegedly aren't paid. Bill Voss, of Houston's Voss Law Firm, sues plaintiffs lawyers who allegedly fail to honor their letters of protection. | |

| Three lawyers have been placed on probation, and another has been suspended, the State Bar of Texas reported recently. | |

| Working Smart: Finding Your Niche | Top |
| Developing a specialization and excelling at it is one way to differentiate yourself from the pack, says Valerie Fontaine. The narrower your niche, the easier it is to streamline your work, stay current with the law and establish yourself as an authority. You also can market more effectively to your target audience so that prospects and referral sources will remember exactly what you do. Beware, however, of putting all your eggs in one basket. If your target industry takes a dive, or laws change, then so may your practice. | |
| Time-Limited Hearings Require Tight Focus | Top |
| In counties that impose time limitations for temporary-orders hearings, such as Collin County's local practice of 20 minutes per side, the idea of effectively presenting complex property or custody issues under extreme time pressure can be intimidating, writes Jonathan J. Bates. However, with thorough preparation and proper time-management techniques, lawyers can gain a significant advantage. | |
