A Man Is At His Tallest When He Stoops To Help Another

I learned this motto many years ago as an Elks member.  It is a motto that I believe in and my profession as a trial lawyer gives me the opportunity to carry it out in practical application.  For the past twenty years, I have given free legal advice to individuals who are searching for answers to their immediate problems.  While I do not always have the particular answer an individual needs, I do my best to steer them in the right direction.  Sometimes my answers are not what the individual wants or expects to hear, but I put down my work and give them an ear that is willing to listen.  Over the years, I have found that when I take the time to listen to others, I am going to hear a lot more than just an initial question.  I am going to become acquainted with the daily cares and proceedings in the lives of my clients.  At the end of the day, it is rewarding to know that I may have made someone else’s path easier or smoother with my skills, or expertise, or simply by providing an audience for their concerns.  Truly, an individual stands tallest when he stoops to help another.
