one thing i say to my clients is that
00:07
hiring a lawyer is sort of like hiring
00:10
a taxi cab driver an hour away from your
00:13
destination in a foreign country
00:15
and you’re getting in the car and it’s
00:19
scary and what our job as lawyers is not
00:22
only to take them to the destination
00:23
safely
00:24
sound and intact but to assure them the
00:27
entire way
00:28
that we got this to give them regular
00:30
updates
00:31
regular communications in this you know
00:34
so that they’re
00:34
confident that we have this the entire
00:36
way because like if you’re if you’re
00:38
traveling from the airport and it’s a
00:40
dangerous ride you get to your
00:41
destination safely you don’t
00:43
you know you don’t consider it a good
00:44
experience you want to feel the entire
00:47
way
00:47
that my driver my lawyer has got it
00:51
it’s taking me safe to my destination
00:52
and that’s what i try to emphasize
00:54
in my representation i try to emphasize
00:56
that with my employees
00:57
and that’s that’s what i shoot for every
00:59
time
01:01
[Music]
01:05
so i’m pretty fortunate i’ve got a legal
01:08
career that i really enjoy and you know
01:10
you hear lots of stories about people
01:11
who go
01:12
to law school become lawyers and then
01:13
flee the profession mostly because
01:16
their early jobs their early career
01:17
experiences were not
01:20
good or they hated certain aspects of
01:22
their job or
01:23
they didn’t enjoy the particular clients
01:26
that they were getting or whatever it
01:27
was
01:27
um for me i represent individual people
01:30
with
01:31
real issues businesses you know other
01:33
types of things
01:34
client comes to me i help them through
01:36
whatever situation they have
01:38
usually they’re happy with my service
01:39
and they happily pay their bill and then
01:41
they refer other people to me and it’s
01:43
this very rewarding
01:45
self-reinforcing cycle of you know
01:48
people come to you and you take care of
01:50
them and then they send their friends to
01:51
you and it’s
01:52
it’s rewarding
