Own Your Mistakes But Don't Fall on Your Sword |
If you practice law long enough, you are bound to make a mistake while representing a client. Some mistakes are harmless and immaterial. Other mistakes may be fatal to your client’s case. In between those two extremes are mistakes that cause your client to suffer some negative consequences or create the possibility of negative consequences in the future.

Odds are that you are sitting in the Triangle, the Triad, Charlotte or perhaps in Fayetteville, Asheville or Wilmington.

The American Bar Association survey published in 2022 states that there are only 2.5 lawyers in the state for every 1,000 residents, leaving North Carolina at number 39 in the nation.

She was smart and wise and had lived through the best and worst the 20th century had to offer.
