It is snowing. It's cooler (not cold). There are opportunities out there that don't exist in the summer. I hope you are able to enjoy the wonderful gifts the winter season brings us.
Trials are proceeding through the court system. The month of December is a bit slower. The court's staff take vacation. Other lawyers take time off. Everything just slows down. But that's OK.
Now might be the best time to address some of the questions you've had lingering, but have not gotten to as of yet. Give me a call and let's talk estate planning, contracts, or whatever else is on your mind!
