At this time of year, I tend to take stock on my blessings at home and at work.  It is hard to believe that we are coming up on seven years that I have been practicing here at RutLaw.  

All of this has been made possible by having the opportunity to serve clients by doing great legal work. And this starts with great clients. Years ago when I was first getting started as a civil trial lawyer, Don Wetzel said that he would walk across a bed of nails for his clients.  I remembered him saying that, and it stuck with me.  And now, I understand.  What we do is about serving clients.  Everything. 

Along the way, great staff and lawyers we have associated with on various cases have helped me to provide superior servie to our clients.  And I have settled on a great group of vendors, too, that both keep our costs low and provide us with the services we need to provide the services our clients need. 

There are a lot of folks behind the scenes that make this go.  I am grateful for them. 

Looking forward to a great 2019.
