When I started this blog a couple of years ago, I wrote a series of posts that I called “What Is A Jury Trial?”. You can find the whole series here: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Seven. Long after writing these posts, I made a video talking about jury trials. You can find that video on our website page “‘About the Firm” and […]
Now I’ve run out of things to say. There’s obviously no sense talking about this kind of thing … or maybe, there is at that: I find that by putting things in writing I can understand them and see them a little more objectively. And I guess that’s one of the real objectives of writing, […]
2018 has me thinking about the direction of my practice over the next year or two. We will soon be celebrating my 25th year in practice as a solo practitioner. I’m proud of that achievement. I’m proud of what we have been able to accomplish here in Southwest Florida and around the State. I am […]
Steven Spielberg’s “The Post,” which for months has been called the right movie at the right moment, felt relevant, if in less magical and obvious ways. It doesn’t have the engine of a classic fairy tale, but rather the power of a populist Frank Capra fairy tale. It tells the story of how the Washington […]
I see a lot of connection in my head that I can’t make on paper, and consequently I have no real image of what I’m doing. That “American Dream” notion becomes increasingly meaningless—mainly because it fits everything I write, and most of what I read. You might as well have told me to write a […]
This is my final fit My final bellyache With no alarms and no surprises No alarms I need to vent about my business travel on Sunday through Tuesday, trying to make it to mediation in Charleston, South Carolina. On Sunday afternoon, the Hartsfield International Airport shut down due to a power outage caused when a […]
That is my University’s motto: “Not unmindful of the future”. Irony thrives in the unspoken – we study and respect our history (the good and the bad). But looking back with a clear eye is important to being able to see the road ahead more clearly. As car manufacturers wisely warn us, objects in the […]
I come from down in the valley Where mister when you’re young They bring you up to do like your daddy done Bruce Springsteen, The River Last week, I told the story about the trip I took on a raft down the Grand Canyon with my Dad. You can find it here. It wasn’t our first time […]
Trying to find purpose, Trying to see meaning Trying to make sense of the nonsense that I’ve called My Life Cause only this river can bear me to safety Only this river can bear me away JJ Grey & Mofro, This River In 1979, I nearly missed a week long trip rafting down the Grand […]
Back around the time that the Occupy Movement was gaining steam, I traveled to Cleveland to depose a corporate lawyer about his work for a hoist manufacturer. I remember getting thrown out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for taking photos of the Cher exhibit for Missi. In my defense, however, it was […]
