Jobs can be hard sometimes. As a young attorney I found myself working in every courtroom. My schedule was packed with court all day so I met with clients when I could and after court and worked on legal work/cases after hours. I barely slept. I remember at one point after a year of trying lots of long and tough cases I was utterly exhausted. I turned to alcohol and was alone lots. I withdrew. But… I knew there had to be a better way. I sought help. I surrounded myself with supportive people. I sought a better way to set up my practice, my business, to serve my clients. My family was always there to support me and they were great.

I joined a national group of estate planning attorneys called Elder Counsel. I was probably a member for at least 2 years before I actually took advantage of their seminars and the vast wealth of estate planning archives.
