Whenever someone, whether it is a family member, a colleague, or a friend, asks me if I enjoy working as an attorney, I always respond by telling them that there is no professional experience as rewarding as standing on the courthouse steps with a client after a win.  That feeling is worth every single day of hardwork that was spent in preparation leading up to trial.  This is what trial attorneys work for - the thrill and excitement of helping clients navigate the complexities of litigation.
