At some point in our careers, lawyers end up in a rut. If you ask them why they practice law, they would be hard-pressed to come up with a compelling answer.
Some lawyers practice merely to make a living, to bring home a paycheck. Other lawyers feel the law is a calling and focus on professional responsibilities of our chosen endeavor.
I’ve gone through many phases in my legal career. There were times where I thought I was going to change the world. There has been more times where I simply felt stuck.
One thing I have learned through my 20 years of practice is that it is a lot more fun to wake up with a higher purpose in your professional life. Our tag line has always been “changing the way law is practiced.” Now there’s a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
