Forrest Legal

We would like to do a shout out to Beman Middle school in Middletown, CT for doing a Ukraine refuge drive. We stopped by this morning to drop off as much as we could to help. Thank you to Morgan Alicea from our office who has such a big heart for donating and helping others and to Matthew Forrest and Leslie Gold McPadden for always helping when we ask.

Thank you to all of our colleagues and clients for the honor of being recognized as Super Lawyers for the last several years.

From Leslie, 2 years ago today . . . seems a lifetime ago:

Here’s my official Punxsutawney Phil Groundhog Day pass. I was there when Phil didn’t see his shadow and assured all of his freezing fans that it would soon be over. Winter that is.

While I was losing the feeling in my feet waiting for Phil’s appearance it occurred to me that since 1993 Groundhog Day has had an entirely different meaning . . . That, of course, is when the iconic Bill Murray movie came out.

Ever since, Groundhog Day has come to represent . . . Well, what, really? Dealing with the same thing happening over and over everyday? Without losing your mind ( though Bill sure did for awhile)?

One thing that occurred to me was that clients in the middle of law suits probably look at what’s happening as their personal Groundhog Day. With every law suit there are long stretches when it may seem like it’s the same old, same old every day, nothing changes.

Because real life law suits aren’t anything like the ones in the movies or on TV.

I’m here to tell you - and I constantly assure clients throughout the process - that, well, in every law suit you eventually wake up one morning and Sonny & Cher aren’t on the radio.
