you won't be any different
Because all of out clients have done so.
And you won't be any different.
HOWEVER, I agree with Kathleen Owens - it really does matter WHAT the clients have done - the context is necessary to decide the right answer.
For instance - if the clients have won their cases, then the answer might be: 'and so will you.'
