Well, there’s been a few. The one I like is more of a human interest-type story is I was called to represent a gentleman who had struggled with addiction and some mental illness issues. And in the process, he essentially lost his family, his wife and his children. And he did have some parenting time with the children, and the wife had custody of the children. Well, unfortunately, the ex-wife, I guess I should say, she became ill and she was about ready to die. And about that point the natural thing would have been for him to take his children at that time. And he recognized that he wasn’t ready. And so I helped the family arrange for the children to go live with other family members.

And then it was a short while after that that the father felt that he was ready to have the children in his life full time. I was contacted to represent and make that happen. And when we were in court, it was one of the most emotional cases I had ever represented somebody on because this guy had really turned his life around and everything had come full circle. And it’s nice to walk out of court when a good thing happens.
