Why did you become a lawyer?
Once professional football was not an option, law seemed a good bet, especially when firms were guaranteeing jobs to students and giving money for law school. Law firms also gave very good drinks parties, which was pretty tempting as an impoverished student. I’d like to say something about the love of the law, but no one would believe me.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career?
James Davis – one of the best client relationship partners I have ever seen. He taught me to keep work in perspective, not to lose sight of your home life and enjoy what you do.
