great judgment. She gives practical and thoughtful advice and knows exactly what it means to be in a service profession.  You’re lucky to have her, and I appreciate you putting her on my file.  If she were interested in corporate litigation, you’d have reason to be nervous -- because I’d try to hire her.  Thanks again."

“Dear Brian, I’ve received the closing statement and your invoice. Thank you for offering to discuss the latter; however, I feel it is entirely fair. I know you did not charge me for each and every back and forth, which I greatly appreciate.

I earn my living by the sweat of fingers on a keyboard; you earn yours by the sweat of advising and accommodating myriad clients, some with unexpectedly toxic situations like mine with the Marion street house. You having my back gave it an overlay of graciousness.”  -Lynn
