the philosophy that guides my work as a
00:06
lawyer is one that i need to make sure
00:09
that that i always keep in mind that
00:12
i’ve been hired by the client
00:13
they basically hired me i didn’t hire
00:16
them
00:16
so it’s important that i give them the
00:19
time and the effort
00:21
that’s part of that job to make sure
00:23
that what i get paid for
00:25
is what i do and what i do as best i can
00:28
i need to spend the time with them i
00:30
need to make sure that i have the staff
00:33
and that we have the people enabled to
00:34
work for for a client as best we can
00:37
and we need to make sure we have the
00:38
finances in order to finance the case
00:41
in a manner to be successful all of
00:44
those things
00:44
involve fighting for a client and what’s
00:46
important to me
00:48
and what’s important to getting the best
00:49
results

my background experience is one as
00:57
somebody who didn’t know there ended up
00:58
being a lawyer
00:59
i thought first i was going to be a
01:01
hockey player for the rest of my life
01:02
and then i got to college and found out
01:04
there was a lot more to life than
01:05
stopping hockey pucks
01:07
i was involved in a number of political
01:09
campaigns
01:10
and then i ended up going to law school
01:12
and at last in law school i found out
01:13
how much i liked representing people
01:16
first as a law clerk then as an
01:17
associate lawyer and finally as managing
01:19
partner brad sean bryant
01:21
i took that opportunity to be able to
01:23
work with people and to spend time
01:24
talking to them about what it is that’s
01:26
important to them which
01:27
i think goes back to how i grew up which
01:30
is dealing with the things a lot
01:32
outside the law
