it’s never personal
00:06
so for the most part uh black and
00:08
whatems represents businesses in
00:12
their commercial litigation department
00:15
in disputes regarding money really
00:18
that’s what it boils down to somebody
00:20
asked me the other day hey what do you
00:21
do and i said i do litigation
00:24
and i said we do mostly commercial
00:26
litigation and they was like well what
00:28
is that and i
00:29
my definition of it is people fighting
00:31
over money
00:32
the point is that it’s never personal
00:35
and luckily we have a clientele and a
00:37
list of clients that are business people
00:40
that understand that they understand
00:42
that every decision that they make
00:44
whether it’s a personal decision to get
00:46
up and go to work
00:47
or
00:48
how they interact with their own
00:49
employees and whatnot so you have to
00:52
make every decision
00:54
for your business on the basis of that
00:56
business and it may sound circular but
01:00
it’s important because when people start
01:02
taking things personally or
01:04
they try to advocate something
01:06
personally it usually ends up poorly
01:10
and the process is not a cheap process
01:13
it’s not an inexpensive and it’s not a
01:17
it’s a very time consuming process
01:19
commercial litigation the other thing
01:21
that i tell clients all the time is this
01:24
this is definitely when you get into
01:26
litigation it’s not a sprint it’s a
01:28
marathon
01:29
and you want to make sure that you pass
01:32
every mile marker and that you put every
01:35
point of information and proof that you
01:37
need
01:38
to a case before that judge or jury
01:41
in whether it’s a motion or at trial
01:44
and there are
01:46
plenty of attorneys in las vegas that
01:48
will tell you
01:50
that they are an advocate and that
01:53
they’re trying to personally attack
01:56
another party or personally attack a
01:58
business that sort of thing for the
02:00
benefit of that case my goal is is to
02:04
try and litigate an issue and get to a
02:07
point of information on both sides so
02:09
that they can make a decision you know
02:11
that was the most important thing that
02:13
i’ve ever
02:14
told a client is you know don’t don’t
02:17
make it personal this is always a
02:19
decision and my job is to make sure that
02:21
you get enough information on the legal
02:23
side to make that decision
02:26
and make it on a professional matter as
02:28
opposed to a personal matter
