“There are 2 other attorneys here at the career fair. Do you know what the difference is between me and them? They’re wearing suits!”
A few months ago I went to Grant Middle School’s Career Fair. I talked to 5 different groups of students about how I am the “other” kind of attorney.
Most people think of the lawyers they see on TV, who are in court, always suing people or defending criminals. I told the kids those are what we call litigation attorneys. But I’m not that kind.
I asked the students, “What other kind of attorney is there?” And all I got were blank looks.
Yes, there is another kind! Some call them “transactional” attorneys. These are the ones who deal with Wills, Trusts, estates, nursing home planning, contracts, real estate and business. This is what we do here at Edwards Group.
And you know what? Good work by us “other” attorneys means that a family will be less likely to need the court-going attorney later.
The best way to find out how we help families achieve peace of mind through planning is by attending one of our free workshops.
