It takes a lot of courage

Everyone that visits me for the first time has something in common. They all have courage. Courage to seek change, courage to disturb the status quo, courage to rise up to a challenge.

I do my best to relax everyone. I use soft lighting in the office. I greet everyone with a smile, and an offer of a soft drink. But the one thing I cannot do is reduce the enormity of their situations. People come in my office because something very important is happening in their lives. That very important thing hits them when they walk through the door of a divorce attorney's office. I try to recognize the importance of their personal situation, and then try hard to be the person they expect to see.
