The May Firm

I read an interesting post by Ron Hendricks on his blog Putting Asunder where he talked about why he became a family law attorney. It made me ponder my own answer….

Lawyers are often asked how they can do what they do. Criminal defense lawyers get the question… “how can you represent someone you know is guilty?” Civil defense lawyers get the question… “how do you represent those big companies who take advantage of the little people?” And, divorce lawyers are asked… “why would you want to deal with divorces all day?”

I became a divorce lawyer out of a genuine desire to help people. Going through a divorce is one of the worst times in a person’s life. He or she needs and deserves to have an advocate by their side through the difficult process. I enjoy making a difference in their lives and holding their hand through it. As with any profession, it certainly has its downsides. Some lawyers are difficult to deal with. Some clients are difficult to deal with. Some judges are difficult to deal with. Any of those make me have a bad day, where I’d rather choose another profession. Then, I have a client who really needs my help and I’m able to make a difference for that client or his/her children. Most of my clients are a joy and are truly appreciative of what we do for them. Some of those clients have sent testimonials that I’ve posted here. I didn’t set out as a young person desiring to be a divorce lawyer. In fact, the divorce business more chose me because clients hired me to handle those types of cases as a young lawyer. There are many other professions that I would not be suited for. But, overall, I am glad that I am able to help those who need my help and can benefit from what I do.
