perspective from 20 years later

I was a young physician just starting my career and didn't have a lot of money for Mr. Blum to earn by representing me. In spite of this, I always felt that I was just as important to him as his cases that earned him hundreds of times more than he earned from me. In order to save me money and time,... he urged me to write down all of my concerns and fax them to him, allowing him to read them and call me back and answer them with fewer billable hours than if I had called and asked him each question one at a time. He urged me to use a mediator to keep my costs lower but didn't hesitate to successfully play the pit bull role when my ex started doing things like cutting me off his health insurance benefits without telling me- the end result was that after a 5 minute call between Lorin and my ex's attorney, my ex husband called me to apologize and immediately restored the pre-dissolution status quo. Mr Blum's professionalism and clear concise presentation of my rights coupled with his presentation of the cost-benefit balance between compromise and taking a firm stand helped me to find my own strength in this process. Due in large part to his wise counsel, I was able to proceed through a divorce without either surrendering everything to my ex husband or spending exorbitant amounts on attorney fees. I always knew he was there to review everything, but he helped me to use his time and expertise in the most cost efficient manner possible. I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude for his expertise and his ethics.
