Because stalking their Avvo profile just doesnât give you enough material for your group chat.
1- Instant Vibes Check đ§
Before you trust someone with your future settlement (and your darkest secrets), donât you want to know if their inspirational quotes are as cringey as you suspect? Or if they follow a âPodcast Broâ you canât stand?
Nothing says âtrustworthy legal counselâ like seeing your attorney drop fire emojis under Instamodel photos and retweeting controversial political posts.
2- Youâll Know If Theyâre a Secret Influencer đ¤ł
If your attorney is suddenly in a reel, giving bedroom eyes and sharing tips on âThe Top 3 Mistakes After a Car Crash,â youâre allowed to bookmark the page. Extra points if the law firm page tags him in âfirm family BBQâ photos where he looks absolutely sunburnt and miserable.
3- Itâs the Easiest Way to Gauge Their Mood đŹ
If he posts gym selfies at 6am, heâs ready to fight for you. If you see three back-to-back photos of him and his cat snuggled up on his Restoration Hardware couch, maybe wait to send that 800-word email about your MRI results.
4- Soft Launching Your Own Drama đ
If you accidentally end up in his story (or he likes one of your posts), congratulations! Youâve just upgraded your status from âclientâ to âpotential main character.â Bonus: it makes it easier to subtweet your legal stress.
5- Gathering Evidence for Your Next Unlicensed Therapy Session in the Group Chat đŹ
Letâs be honest: half the fun is reporting back. âHe did post a #MotivationMonday quote after ignoring my last three texts⌠the audacity! I hate him! But I also love him. Help.â
Youâll never run out of material.
6- The Subtle Power Play âď¸
Because only an emotionally intelligent and just slightly unhinged client follows their attorney, and then waits for him to follow back (or, even better, not follow back, and just silently watch your stories like a true lurker).
7- Youâll Find Out Who He Really Likes to Represent đľđźââď¸
If heâs commenting âproud of you!â under yet another clientâs car accident settlement post, you know exactly where you stand in the firmâs emotional pecking order. #NotBitterJustBored
Pro Tip:
If you wouldnât want him to see your Finsta, heâs definitely seen your Finsta.
