This most common and most costly error is also one of the easiest
to prevent. How? Write it down.
Send something in writing to the client confirming what instructions
were given, and what steps were taken or not taken further
to those instructions. Your communication can be a letter, a fax, or
even an e-mail. No matter what form it takes, this confirmation
serves to confirm, in a contemporaneous manner, exactly what
was said and done. Having such a confirmation can be of great
assistance in the event of a malpractice claim.
As a backup, consider creating a detailed docket.
