Scrupulousness, honesty. Without that, there is no real advice, nor the ability to convince.
A lawyer's worst flaw?
servility. Refrain from sincerely expressing your opinion, out of self-interest. Or, but it amounts to the same thing, to make his personal interest prevail over that of the client.

Man (or woman) of influence.
What are you looking for in a client?
His ear.
What would you like a customer to think of you?
Creative and sincere. This is what I value the most.
Favorite mode of expression: writing or speaking?
Write it down, without hesitation. It is the most demanding, but it is the most precise way to elaborate and communicate one's thought.
