Most days, I love my practice. I delight in trying cases, taking depositions, buckling down to research and brief thorny legal issues, and advocating on behalf of my clients. Good days are ones where I have fruitful conversations, engage my intellect, move my cases along, and feel like I accomplished something. The best days are ones where I help bring peace and closure to my clients, whether by resolving a case in mediation, negotiating a settlement directly, or getting a case to verdict/award.

Yet some days, it seems like I go nonstop at 100 miles an hour, dealing with calls, emails, and a seemingly endless task list with nary a break, yet feel like I have little to show for my efforts. Most of us have experienced days like this.
