We Love Our Jobs

Many lawyers don’t like what they do. They tell their children not to become lawyers.

It is not an easy job. Basically, you are taking on other people’s problems for a career.  God knows, we have plenty of problems ourselves. It is high stress, long hours and less lucrative than the public thinks.

My law school professor said, “If you don’t like hard work, leave now! This is the nature of the legal profession.”

Yet we love what we do. You couldn’t have a more wonderful job. Every day people sit across from us presenting the challenging and frightening problems they are facing. And every day we fight for them to try to help them through these intimidating problems.

We have had a lot of success and we have helped a lot of people make their lives better and their loved ones lives better.

For us, there is no better feeling or cause.

Discussion Coming

Please check back as current legal issues, local and federal will be discussed here!

How many times has there been a meaningful election for District Attorney (one in which both major parties had a candidate) in the 9th Judicial District (Garfield, Pitkin and Rio Blanco Counties) since 1980?

Answer: ONCE IN 30 YEARS!

Tom Silverman thinks that is a failure of democratic principles that does not serve the people of this 9th Judicial District well.

Contest Question!

Check back as Tom will have an ongoing question, trivial and rhetorical on any aspect of law. The best answer, as there will be no right answer will win a free lunch with Tom.
