From an attorney's perspective, just who is the perfect client?

A perfect client is one who is willing to listen.
A perfect client is one who is willing to learn.
A perfect client is one who is willing to go on a stressful journey with someone they trust as their legal guide.

A perfect client it one who communicates with me.
A perfect client is one who does not demand, yell, scream or give ultimatums.
A perfect client is one who, after listening to my lawyerly advice, makes an intelligent decision about how to proceed, regardless of whether they agree with my advice or not.

A perfect client is one who responds to my letters, emails and phone calls.
A perfect client is one who is helpful and assists me when I prosecute their case.
