often times
00:05
in in lawsuits um
00:09
things are very emotionally heightened
00:12
it’s
00:13
expensive it’s unpleasant just a sort of
00:16
source of
00:17
stress that that most people don’t like
00:20
it’s
00:20
sometimes hard to remove yourself from
00:24
that perspective
00:25
and see things in sort of a analytical
00:29
way
00:29
in other words not let the sort of
00:32
emotion
00:33
of the lawsuit dictate
00:36
what decisions are made in prosecuting
00:39
or defending that lawsuit
00:40
so i oftentimes find myself giving
00:44
clients advice about trying to separate
00:47
the emotional aspect of the case from
00:50
what we’re actually going to do in the
00:51
case because
00:52
decisions that are made on an emotional
00:54
basis are obviously
00:56
not the best decisions and that’s where
00:58
i come in and try to
01:00
point out more business-oriented
01:03
approach in the circumstances
01:11
maybe it sounds a bit uh simple but i i
01:14
guess i would say
01:15
the most rewarding thing is achieving
01:18
a result for a client oftentimes when
01:22
you’re involved in a lawsuit it’s it’s a
01:24
really difficult position to be in
01:27
you know both personally and as a
01:29
business
01:30
so to um achieve a result that
01:34
makes the client happy after the entire
01:37
process plays out
01:38
can be rewarding both just as a
01:42
matter of sort of professional pride as
01:44
well as
01:45
seeing the client happy with the result
