It’s rare for a case to be a slam dunk. A quality lawyer can work with limited options and still get results, but it’s a no-go if you sense overconfidence. Even a seasoned lawyer should know that no court case comes with a guarantee. Keep reading to learn how you can tell if you have a good attorney.
Great Listener
While every good lawyer should have their speaking skills down to a science, don’t forget to pay attention to listening skills. There are no cookie-cutter solutions in law—your lawyer should listen to and understand your goals.
A great listener is also a fantastic communicator. It’s a red flag if your lawyer consistently takes several business days to respond to you.
Objective
The best lawyers don’t tell you what you want to hear. While they can empathize with your situation, you want them to stay objective about the law. If they tell you that you can win any settlement you want, run the other way—hyperbole has no place in a courtroom.
Honest About Fees
It’s no secret that lawyers come with fees—this is only a problem when your lawyer makes it seem like a secret. Most legal matters have varying fees, so a great lawyer will tell you the range of prices you can expect.
Your attorney should be open and honest about the costs your case will accrue, and even whether the case makes financial sense. There are several factors that can impact the value of your settlement, and your lawyer should identify them and steer you toward the best possible payout.
Now that you know how you can tell if you have a good attorney, keep these tips in mind when you interview the next lawyer. It could be the difference between a massive payout and no payout at all!

ISRAEL/IRAN
In a statement this morning in which the Secretary-General reiterated that it is high time to stop the dangerous cycle of retaliation in the Middle East.
The Secretary-General condemns any act of retaliation and appeals to the international community to work together to prevent any further development that could lead to devastating consequences for the entire region and beyond.
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
On Wednesday and Thursday –the UN was able to transfer into Gaza 15 of 30 trucks bought by the United Nations to enhance aid delivery. The purchase and shipment of those trucks is being funded by the Humanitarian Fund for the OPT [Occupied Palestinian Territory], at a cost of almost $3.5 million.
Meanwhile, we’ve received information that some 270,000 tons of solid waste have now accumulated across the Gaza Strip; that’s according to the Union of Gaza Strip Municipalities. That is what they are telling us. This is creating, as you can imagine, an environmental and public health catastrophe. The destruction of waste management facilities and medical waste disposal centres has severely hampered the collection and disposal of solid waste by municipalities.
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that ongoing hostilities in Gaza, the destruction of roads, and the prevalence of unexploded ordnance continue to pose significant risks for humanitarian workers. These challenges are also impeding the physical movement of aid supplies across the Gaza strip.
This is in addition to fuel supply constraints, delays and insecurity at the checkpoint on the coastal road, restrictions on telecommunications equipment being able to be brought in, and an insufficient number of drivers and trucks cleared by Israel to use the fence road.
Since the beginning of the war, most trucks used for transporting aid have been damaged or destroyed. The fleet available in Gaza is extremely limited. And as I’ve told you, we did bring in extra trucks.

Scientists have identified what they have suspected was probably the largest marine reptile ever to swim in the seas - a creature longer than two, nose-to-nose buses.
The creature lived around 202 million years ago alongside the dinosaurs.
Its fossilised jawbone was found in 2016 by a fossil hunter on a beach in Somerset, UK.
In 2020 a father and daughter found another similar jawbone.

Huge EXPLOSION Rocks Iran-backed Military Group in Iraq
This video captures the moment a massive explosion rocked a military base belonging to an Iran-backed militia in Iraq.
The powerful blasts erupted at a site belonging to the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU).
Footage from the scene shows the explosion set fire to trees in the surrounding areas, causing the fire to rapidly spread.
The blast at the military base has resulted in at least one fatality and 20 injuries, according to security sources.
The Iraqi military stated that no drones or fighter jets were detected in the airspace of the Babil area before or during the blast.
Inside the base on Saturday morning showed a large crater and damage to infrastructure and vehicles.

ODN Video: Israel Launches Strikes Deep Inside Iran
Israel has launched a series of strikes against Iran. Anti-aircraft fire was spotted in the skies above Isfahan, a province just south of Tehran. There are several large military bases in the region, including missile production and nuclear facilities. US officials confirmed a missile strike, but the Israeli government has yet to comment. There are no reports of any damage or casualties, and Iranian officials have said there are no plans for an immediate retaliation. Iran also claims to have intercepted three drones, but denied a missile had struck inside the country. Israel’s attack against Iran is itself a retaliation, following an Iranian drone and missile attack on Saturday. Some 300 drones and missiles were fired towards Israel by Iran, but nearly all of them were intercepted. Tehran has been expecting an Israeli response ever since, but this morning’s attack was comparatively muted. Iran has downplayed the strike, and the UN atomic watchdog has said there was no damage to Iranian nuclear sites.

ODN Video: New Combat Footage Shows How Israel-Hamas War is Changing
New footage released by both Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces show the conflict is shifting.
The militant group continues to release highly-edited clips, which it claims shows its fighters in action in northern and central Gaza.
But the skirmishes shown are small in scale, with Hamas keeping their distance from Israeli forces, using sniper rifles, short-range missiles and mortars.
Meanwhile, the number of videos showing Israeli ground operations in the Gaza Strip is decreasing as its military withdraws large numbers of troops from frontline combat.
Instead, most new videos show the Israeli Air Force striking ‘terrorist infrastructure’ inside the territory.
There are more videos showing Israeli soldiers conducting nighttime raids in the West Bank.
And far more clips showing large Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon - a theatre of the war that is growing in importance.
The militant group Hezbollah, which wields significant power in Lebanon, is closely linked with Iran.
Israel’s increased aggression against Hezbollah may be part of its response to Iran’s recent missile attacks, as fears grow that the Israel-Hamas war may spill over into a wider regional conflict.

ODN Video: What Is Cloud Seeding and Did it Cause The Dubai Floods?
Dubai experienced unprecedented rainfall on Tuesday, causing widespread chaos.
Schools were shut down, flights were cancelled, and cars had to be abandoned.
The country -faced 14cm (5.6 inches) of rain, leaving much of the city underwater.
Some have speculated that the heavy rain might have been triggered by "cloud seeding”.
But what is cloud seeding?
Cloud seeding is a method where existing clouds are manipulated to produce more rainfall.
Aircraft release small particles into clouds, aiding the condensation of water vapour and resulting in increased rainfall.
Most operations use a compound called silver iodide, which exists naturally in the environment and has no known harmful effects.
The United Arab Emirates has been using cloud seeding in recent decades to alleviate water shortages. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs
