Congratulations! You are finished with the bar exam. I hope you are putting your feet up, relaxing, and enjoying the accomplishment. Nice job! And now for the next chapter. Once you have spent some time recuperating from the exam experience, you may want to think about how you are going to spend the next few […]
My first computer came with a built-in 5 ¼ inch floppy drive and the new 3 ½ inch disk drive that was just out. Suffice it to say I was more than a little excited! This was a DOS based system and I thought it rocked. Of course I did what we all did with […]
I run. Or rather, I try to run a few times a week these days, as my schedule permits. Morning networking meetings, lunches and dinners with clients and referral sources, and time with my family all compete with running for the same “free” time around my workday. But OK – I’m still a runner, and […]
I have spoken at length over the past 4 years about Rezoomers seeking mentors. This month I am speaking to those who would be mentors. You know who you are. You may be a successful Rezoomer or a colleague of a Rezoomer who sees them struggling and can offer to help. Often your help will […]

But I suppose that was preordained because my father owned a car dealership and, from a very young age, I learned the importance […]
If you are a lawyer involved in litigation or your practice involves interacting with witnesses, then you obviously are familiar with depositions and transcripts. In fact, you probably are involved in more depositions than trials. Being a modern, mobile lawyer is all about making the unwieldy wieldy (is that a word?). One way to do […]
If the message is important, it’s worth sending a certified letter or getting a signed acknowledgment. It can be costly if you are unable to confirm that the information has been received. Attorney Joseph Shaffer learned this lesson when he represented Mark and Cynthia Peck in a medical malpractice claim related to the birth of […]
I recently had breakfast with my friend, Toni. Toni is more than a friend, actually: she is one of my very best friends, my client, my co-conspirator, a trusted business advisor, and co-author of a book we’re working on (that’s a whole other column). We meet for breakfast about once a week to check in with […]
