Ask HN: Tell me your good and bad experiences with lawyers

I'm an attorney interested in starting my own practice. Probably will start with corporate, financing & M&A work for tech startups since that's my experience, but I'd be open to branch out as I learn more. I was surprised to learn very few attorneys do user research before opening their own shop.

(Unlike many lawyers,) I actually like practicing law and helping clients problem-solve. Would like to build a practice that serves as a solution, not another problem.

So tell me: what bad experiences have you had with lawyers? What about the good ones? If you're a founder, what is something you'd like to tell the legal industry?

Share/vent/spout off as you please, but be civil and please don't mention specific names!
