I would say the most rewarding aspect is when I see people that originally come to me and they’re confused or overwhelmed, they don’t know where to start and we work through the process together. We get to a resolution, which leaves them with a good future. I mean that’s what I like to do. What I get concerned about people who don’t want to use lawyers or they just want, they’ll agree to anything. And then a year or two later that’s when they’re coming to see me and that isn’t as rewarding as having someone come at the outset to say, “Hey, what should I do here? I’m overwhelmed.” We emphasize planning here. We try to look at what is the best arrangement for the kids? What do we think financially that our client needs to be able to have a life after divorce or have a life after a life changing family law event and so that’s what we focus on. I mean we always, of course, if someone has a decree that was unworkable we see what we can do. We definitely try to help them. But it’s usually a lot harder to be effective after the fact rather than going through the process from the outset.
