what i find rewarding
00:06
to be able to help clients is simply the
00:09
fact that
00:10
we serve to help people minimus
00:12
attorneys have gotten the benefit
00:14
of of this education of the law
00:17
but the reality is that the law fix fits
00:20
in the real world
00:21
and so when people come to us is it
00:24
because they have a problem
00:26
and of all and for which the law
00:28
permeates that problem
00:30
so our job is to try to help solve that
00:32
problem for them
00:33
help them with planning help them to
00:35
understand whatever it is
00:37
to come to a solution for them
00:40
hopefully for that improves their lives
