What should a client do to her lawyer when they lose a case?

  Were you thinking about the stocks or publicly caning her?
   In litigation, one side wins and the other side loses. If you don’t want to risk that outcome, you settle.
Not every case is a good one.
   Additionally,  A good lawyer will give you an honest appraisal of what your chances of winning are. We’re trained never to give guarantees of outcomes. If a lawyer tells you any outcome is 100% certain, they are probably a hack desperate for your business.
   I usually won’t take a case with a less than even chance of successful outcome. Clients like to think they pay lawyers for outcomes rather than representation, and will often turn on their lawyer if they lose. Besides, It depends on how the lawyer performed. If they milked your retainer for every billable second and failed to produce an acceptable work product, try to settle. Not all lawyers care if you win. The system is about resolution not justice. If you are truly wrong or guilty, do not expect miracles. Live is not TV, lawyers lose cases or simply screw up. If your lawyer did their best, pay the bill. If not, then compromise

   In my opinion losing and winning is not a certain game specially in the field of law. If your lawyer looses a case this does not mean that he has done any injustice to you, your lawyer has given enough time to your grievance and prepared your case but if the law does not support your contention then you might loose. Therefore, your lawyer has a right to take the share of his service which he has provided you and of course your lawyer will always be available to provide you further legal assistance in case you need it.
