Every small practice has a moment when a stranger becomes a client. For a law firm, it might be a phone call from someone who has just received a court notice. For a therapy or psychiatry clinic, it might be a web form filled out late at night. For an accounting or consulting office, it […]
You finish a long day of reviewing contracts, prepping for a hearing, or chasing a billing target, and you fall into bed. Hours later you wake up with a tight jaw, a dull headache behind your temples, and a vague memory of a dream about a missed deadline. If that sounds familiar, your teeth may […]
You are three hours into drafting a factum, the filing deadline is tomorrow morning, and you suddenly notice that your jaw is tight, your teeth are pressed together, and your shoulders have crept up toward your ears. You did not decide to clench. Your body did it for you while your mind was busy with […]
