I once knew a trial lawyer named Tim. He was in his early 50s, a tried and true combatant. He’d been a senior partner for fifteen years. He was on several committees in the firm, had oversight in several areas, and had been leader of his practice group. He thought it would suit him at the time he was appointed, but he grew weary of it soon enough. He waited until it seemed politically OK to step down, and he did.

Tim was married, and had been since a few days after law school graduation in the early ’90s. His wife, Terry, was an accountant and soon after, a CPA. They worked hard for a couple years after Tim passed the Bar, saving up a good down payment on a nice place in Lakewood, with hopes of eventually selling and moving on to the Park Cities for the schools.
