So I think that the answer to that is yes. I think that lifestyle law firms are much more beneficial, and people are often much happier in them. One thing I do notice is that in smaller markets, attorneys have a lot less turnover compared to large markets.

I think people tend to be happier in the long run and able to maintain everyday life. When you get into these sizeable industrial law firms, which are responding to large companies' needs, things are a little bit different.
