A MESSAGE FROM ME AS A BUSINESS OWNER ❤️
Today was a reminder that no matter how much you try to do right by people, you cannot please everyone.
I had a client contact me today regarding work I completed approximately three months ago. This was someone who is also a paralegal, someone I worked with through multiple revisions, several emails back and forth, and someone who ultimately reviewed and approved the final documents.
Three months later, I received a phone call filled with profanity because the client felt something had not been done correctly.
Now, let me make something clear. I am human. I am not above making mistakes, and I have NEVER had a problem correcting something if I made an error.
As a business owner, I immediately offered a resolution. I offered to address the concerns, provide a full refund, and cooperate with correcting the court record through the appropriate process if necessary.
Unfortunately, instead of having a productive conversation, the disrespect continued.
And that's where I draw the line.
I've been sick and recovering, and this is only my second day getting back to business. But regardless of what I may be dealing with personally, I still answered that phone and attempted to handle the situation professionally.
This is exactly why I constantly remind my clients to READ, REVIEW, and PROOFREAD everything before giving final approval.
When I send documents for review, it's not just a formality. I genuinely want you to look over the work, ask questions, point out concerns, and request corrections. That's why I communicate through email and maintain records of revisions and approvals.
I also structure my payment process so clients have an opportunity to review the work before making their final payment.
I take my business seriously. I take my clients seriously. And I understand that when someone's freedom, family, or future is involved, emotions can run high.
But frustration does not give anyone the right to verbally abuse someone who is genuinely trying to help.
You can be upset. You can disagree. You can question my work. You can absolutely request that something be corrected.
What you cannot do is call my business and curse me out.
I will always stand behind my work, acknowledge legitimate mistakes, and do what I reasonably can to make things right.
But professionalism and respect have to go both ways.
I am running a business, not volunteering to be someone's verbal punching bag.
To every client who has shown patience, communicated respectfully, and trusted me with their documents, thank you. I truly appreciate you.
And to future clients, please understand that my review and revision process exists for a reason. Your approval matters, your questions matter, and your concerns matter.
Accountability is a two-way street. Respect is not optional.
