A Lawyer Gives Thanks on Thanksgiving

At a Thanksgiving dinner years ago when my son was a small boy he asked me, “Dad, what do lawyers give thanks for?”  Unsurprised at his question, I responded with the expected categories—family, country, good health and good food. He wasn’t buying it, and a cross-examination followed: “No Dad, I mean what lawyer things are you thankful for?”

Now that was a question!  I don’t entirely remember how I answered on that Thanksgiving Day, but this Thanksgiving I’d answer it this way:

My Clients: their trust makes me a lawyer.

The Constitution of the United States: it is the foundation of our democracy.

The Law: it is the living, changing construct that even after nearly 30 years of practice continues to fascinate, inspire and challenge me.

My Adversaries: they make me a better advocate.

My Colleagues: their support and advice are invaluable.

Atticus Finch, my fictional inspiration for wanting to become a lawyer.

Judges William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall, my real life inspirations for wanting to become a lawyer.

Every profession, every way to make a living has its ups and downs, its bright spots and dark days.  This Thanksgiving as you sit down to celebrate, take a moment and be grateful for what it is you do. Even if it is not who you are, the way you make a living gives purpose to your days and provides material support to your loved ones.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Locks Law Firm only provides legal advice after having entered into an attorney client relationship, which our website specifically does not create. Conversations that originate from website messaging, chat or other two way web based engagement  do not create an attorney client relationship. It is imperative that any action taken be done on the advice of counsel. Because every case is different, the description of awards and cases previously handled do not guarantee a similar outcome in current or future cases. The firm practices law in Pennsylvania, New Jersey & New York as Locks Law Firm. Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America and other organizations that rate attorneys are not designations that have been approved by the State Supreme Courts or the American Bar Association.
