Whining About Being a Bankruptcy Lawyer in Phoenix is Just an Excuse For Using this Photograph

By Joseph McDaniel, Esq.

Some days it's good being a bankruptcy lawyer in Phoenix, and some days it's a little less good.

For instance, some days clients send me gift baskets with cards that say, "Thank You. Thank You. Thank You."

Other days, clients send me emails and say, "What do you mean, my diamond-encrusted Rolex isn't exempt in Arizona????? I paid you a fee, now fix it!"

To be fair, both of those events happen seldom, but they happen, and they make me happy or sad, as the case may be.

But two different things make me very, very happy to do the work that I do, whether it's rewarding on any particular day.

One is the memory of working as a ditchdigger, with a pick and shovel, for my brilliant buddy Pancho Willis. In the hot, hot sun. In Phoenix, Arizona. In the summer.

Another is this photograph, and I urge all lawyers to look at it on days when they feel overworked, or under-appreciated. 

You know?
