A busy trial practice and a gaggle of children don't mix well at all. I started looking to bail when I missed my daughter's kindergarten Christmas pageant (boo on the judge who set a trial for CHRISTMAS EVE!)
Look at Gloria Alredd's bottom lip. She's got a fat lip. On the left side. Weird.
Jeez. Sounds like the lawyer I knew who didn't want to let his secretary go to the hospital when her son broke his leg at school. He needed her at work much more than her son needed her at the hospital. Thank God she wasn't intimidated and she went anyway.
I hate the bad rap lawyers get, but sometimes they (mostly the men) deserve it. : )
