To me, a really successful lawyer has it all by:
• doing great, impeccable client work
• having a loyal client base despite often paying above market fees
• attracting new clients and clearly being a rain maker partner in the firm
• having great working relation ships and friendships with others in the firm
• enjoying an interesting personal life with time to pursue his/her passions and interests
• finding time to find ways to give back to the community
• developing and pursuing a broad range of interests
• having a solid family life with all members thriving
I know many, many good attorneys who can check off some of these boxes. I know very few who can check them all off.
