No Golf For Me
For some reason, a lot of people think that a criminal attorney's work is done after they finish with court in the morning. I frequently hear "Oh he must have an afternoon tee time" when a a lawyer is trying to move along a conversation with his client especially when they are trying to move along the conversation quickly. I for one, rarely have time for an afternoon round of golf. In fact, I am just as busy upon returning to the office as I am in court in the morning. Take for example this afternoon. Before entering my office I had someone waiting for me and before I finished with that person I had two more appointments waiting. I try to space my appointments a hour apart to give enough time to see all of them. When I do not have people waiting for me I return all my messages before starting my afternoon work. The afternoons are the time a trial lawyer prepares for his upcoming trials by getting his motions ready for filing reviewing the law, and tying up any loose ends. Most of the time, the work day is over for me before I get a chance to think about the 18 holes that I missed playing.
