And each one has so much substance to it and is really in depth and provides great advice. And I am not saying this to get a testimonial on the website. I just had to write because I was so impressed.
I find the legal market extremely vexing and you put that into words extremely well. Thanks. Jeff Cohen - I really enjoyed your article titled "The Top Reasons Why Money Is the Dumbest Thing Any Attorney Should Focus on When Joining a Law Firm." It was relatable, inspiring and definitely worth breaking through the short attention span that plagues us today (especially when it comes to articles online). Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Dani
