A Day to Remember

Today marked the 7th anniversary of the opening of the Law Office, and I can't quite believe how quickly the years have gone by. I still remember my first day at the office - September 1, 1999 - sitting at my desk, and twiddling my thumbs. My how quickly that changed. I still pinch myself occasionally as a reminder that no, I'm not dreaming, I really get to do this for a living. Thank you to all the clients, attorneys and judges I have worked with along the way, who have made my life richer because they were in it.

Today is also a bit of a sad day, because it marks the end of Valerie's time with us. My trusted intern is returning this weekend to Montclair State University, where she will begin her Sophomore year of studies. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Valerie's hard work throughout the summer. That she did not miss one day of work, was never late, and never left early only begins to illustrate the passion that she demonstrated every day. The good news is that she will be returning next summer, and we also expect her to make some appearances over Christmas break. Our clients have greatly benefited from her intellect and work ethic, and we wish her the best as she continues with her higher education.
