My Most Important Client
My most important client is not the diplomat who called from overseas for wire instructions so he could send me his retainer for a post divorce dispute.
My most important client is not the stock broker who made a million dollars last year and is looking at life time alimony and his soon to be ex-wife’s mounting legal fees that he may have to pay.
My most important client is not the wealthy businesswoman who brings her daughter to my office for a parenting plan and separation agreement.
Last night, my seven year old son looked up at me and said, “Dad, can you come to my school play tomorrow?” I set all those urgent cases aside this morning and spent three otherwise billable hours waiting for my son to say his three lines. Because he is my most important client.

That’s inspiring. I think it’s great how you make time for your family, even with all the work you have. That’s really a good motivation for me. Thanks.
