Welcome to the first edition of Behind the Scenes. We created this blog so you could get to know us a little better in a different light. That AND we’re sick of people asking us, “So what’s it really like to work in a law firm?” Instead of answering that question a million times we thought we would let you see for yourself. So we’re taking you, well, Behind the Scenes.
We’ve noticed that when people think of lawyers they think one of two things: Either the attorneys spend all day in court trying cases with defendants screaming at them, “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH”; or that all of us around here wear dark suits and run around carrying briefcases talking in hushed tones. Not even close. No one has ever pulled a Jack Nicholson on one of our attorneys from the stand, (not that we know of anyway) and no one here runs. Ever. But it’s not all legal issues and serious conversations either. It actually gets downright noisy in here. In fact, we had to move our break room to the basement due to all the lunchtime shenanigans. Apparently we were disturbing the peace upstairs. It actually worked out better though because now we have more room for our Wii bowling tournaments. True story: last year during our Wii bowling tournament one of the partners (Javier) actually tore his calf muscle running up to the screen. Good thing we have worker’s comp!
We really hope that you’ll join us on this tour of our place and we hope you enjoy our stories. We have some doozies. We promise you won’t be disappointed.

Javier told some people like me he was bowling bowling, not wii bowling.
What a blast ! We should have a lunch N’ learn Wii tournament ! I have a similar story since both of us are winners of “Best Places To Work in the Valley”. We have “Daily Catch” every morning where we all challenge one another with fun games, etc. One of our managers (Dawn Engel) was playing “Red light, Green light” and successfully broke her left wrist ! As a result, we still play fun games but we no longer run in the office ! It is so amazing to work for a Best Places Company !
