miladygreyOne of the worst clients we have ever had (Aveline and I both flinch when his name comes up) called in a panic today, hoping that Aveline could represent him in literally five days at a hearing.
A) Aveline is not available on the date you want.
B) Aveline is not available to meet with you before the hearing, which she requires before taking a case, even if that date was open.
C) Aveline is not taking new clients right now, we're full up.
D) (Especially if they're you, dickweasel.)
E) Her next availability (for you) will be shortly after the heat death of the universe.
F) Buh-bye.
