Think it is hard to broadbrush all lawyers as either having or not having the ability to remember someone.Do lawyers usually remember their clients from six or seven years ago or does it mean t
that GZ stood out?
IANAL but I remember hardly any of my clients from several years ago unless there was something extraordinary about them.
Maybe , as you say, there was something extraordinary about him in either a good or bad way.
Maybe she re read his file to refresh or she remembers all her clients. Maybe she liked him or she has a good long term memory. I can think of a lot of reasons to remember someone.
JMHO of course.
