Have you ever walked into a business and been warmly greeted by the ­receptionist? It is a very soothing and welcoming feeling. You enjoy being treated well and have a positive impression not just of the business you have entered—but about what is next to occur inside its walls.

Conversely, have you ever walked into a business and the receptionist appears uninterested, uncaring, bothered by your presence and even arrogant? If you are like me, you really remember the ­negative ­encounters and wonder if they translate into poor service and attitude on the part of all with the lawyers and staff of 
the firm.
