To Those Who Help

As they do each year, the Dallas Morning News published their list of those for whom we should be thankful on this truly American holiday.  I was struck by the common theme of their selections: people who help and serve others.  While hardly a novel concept, it was a good reminder of who constitutes the most remarkable among us.

Like many in our line of work, I grow weary of the sweeping assaults on the legal profession by the politicians and comedians (despite the undeniable humor of many.)  Too often I feel forced to explain that “I don’t practice THAT kind of law,” tacitly agreeing with the gist of their critique.  Why?

The commercials are sickening.
