Working at a law firm I see a lot of things. Things I obviously can’t talk about in detail, however there has always been something I wonder about.

Every now and then we have someone come to our office who received a DWI. And every now and then their mother or father will pay for their attorneys fees. Being that I work at a law firm, I don’t really think I should ever judge if the client pays the bill or a family member does. However, I always wonder to myself, “if my child had a DWI would I pay for their attorneys fees?” I don’t have a child, so I don’t know this answer, but it’s something I always wonder.

Would you foot the bill if it were your child?

This year the September issue of Texas Monthly is entitled Super Lawyers. I’m pleased to announce that my father is included and is a Super Lawyer in the area of Criminal Law. Congratulations Dad!

Last month I attended a fundraiser for Nico LaHood who is running for Bexar County District Attorney. As a child, my Father ran for the same position in the 90′s and I have a personal interest in this elected official position for many reasons. The evening was amazing, his speech literally brought tears to my eyes and no one in the room left without a sense of community and a better understanding of who Nico is and what he stands for.

Over the past few months, I’ve learned a lot about Nico. He is a man who has seen the judicial system from every point of view, as a Prosecutor, a Defense attorney, a Magistrate Judge and more. His story is one that a simple blog on my website can not convey without leaving out an important part of the story. Instead, I’d rather direct you to his website and say I support Nico LaHood and I hope you will too.
