Many times people just don't understand why I enjoy family law. You stated it succinctly when you stated that (1) you enjoy the money but (2) you take a broken person and help them get their back on track. I sometimes have to take issue with the money aspect because sometimes there just isn't any money beyond the initial retainer, and I'm sure you have experienced that once the initial retainer is exhausted, you are so far into the divorce that ethically and because of the personal connection with the client it is hard not to see it through. Good post. I agree with your blog. Many times people just don’t understand why I enjoy family law.

You do have a good focus on helping people. I would suggest that you consider Collaborative Law as a means of further helping people. I don't know if you are trained or even familiar with Collaborative Law, but I use it as often as possible and have found that it is the least destructive approach to divorce and in fact, is often beneficial for the parties when they learn some better communication skills and can work in a safe, creative, productive environment. You need to have several lawyers trained in Collaborative Law in your community in order to practice it, and I hope you will look into it. Clients can really benefit from it. For information, you can check my web site or blog. Keep up the good work. I also do family law and experience some of the same attitudes you have. You do have a good focus on helping people.
