AI, rewrite If I were a paralegal in a law office and a client came in and began telling his "story" to me and the staff in the reception area, I would politely ask the client to wait for the attorney to arrive before he starts as the attorney will want to hear everything. To advise that for the attorney to have a proper understand of the client's issues he will want to speak with the client directly. I would also probably escort the client into a private room (if possible) and have him sit and wait
