Many times, when people are in need of legal help or searching for a lawyer, they consider only whether or not that attorney concentrates his or her work in the specific area of the law that they need, be it divorce, real estate, estate planning, etc. As such, some attorneys feel as if the fact that they advertise that they perform that kind of work, that is sufficient to demonstrate their ability and credentials. However, I believe there is much, much more to it than that.

It has been my experience, and what I have observed in the careers of many of my successful colleagues over the years, that to be an effective advocate for our clients, there are multiple components of a sound legal practice that extend well beyond specialization in any given area of practice. These components involve learning, personal growth, giving, sharing, and being mindful of the firm’s overall health. Together, these individual components make up what I consider to be the truly “complete” lawyer.
