- What area do you specialize in/mostly practice in? Do you enjoy it?
My agency includes the State Fire Marshal’s Office, all the state Building Code Officials and licensing of plumbers, electricians and contractors, so that’s the substantive area of administrative law that I cover. But, I do a much wider variety of things – a lot of employment and personnel type issues. Legislative drafting and lobbying. I act as a hearing officer on a fairly regular basis.
- Why law?
Still not sure about this one myself. I suppose I haven’t found anything else that fits my ahem unique skills, interests and abilities. However, like most lawyers I’ve known, I’m vaguely dissatisfied with the practice of law. Of course, this ailment may be pandemic rather than confined to our profession.
Finally, an explanation of why we have so many lawyers in America. :eek: 
I got that one too, Billdo. I ignored it.

5. What area do you specialise in/mostly practice in? Do you enjoy it?
commercial litigation and employment law. i did the big firm thing for a while, but now i work for a small firm that has a big firm’s practice. i enjoy it, but many of my friends don’t like being lawyers. i’m actually kind of a law nerd.
6. Why law?
no lawyers in my family. in fact, i didn’t know any lawyers growing up.
i didn’t know what i wanted to do when i went to college. Trinity has a common curriculum requirement, so i ended up taking a political science class. i liked it, so i took some more. one of the classes i took was jurisprudence, which i really liked, so i took some more law-oriented classes. i really liked those. in fact, i liked them so much that when it came time for graduation, i thought that i might like law school, too.
believe it or not, i did.
Congrats, pravnik!

- What type of legal practitioner are you?
Attorney. Stealing shameless from Spavined Gelding, Esq., supra, I am a suburban general practioner with some amount of trial practice, some estate planning and probate, small business, tax, real estate stuff and a sprinkling of the usual divorces, traffic/drug driving, criminal representation and “miscellaneous cases of greed, ignorance and lust.”
- Educational background?
BBA with honors in accounting from Kent State University. JD from Notre Dame Law School.
- Would you consider further study?
Not at the moment.
- How long have you been admitted to practice, and how old are you?
I’m 41. I’ve been admitted to practice in Ohio for 15 years and Florida for 9.
- Did you have another career before entering the Law?
I worked in the tax department at a formerly big but now recently defunct accounting firm that went by the initials “AA”. Like Bob Newhart, I had to get out of accounting because my motto was “That’s close enough.”

I enjoy the intellectual challenge of it. I don’t enjoy the business aspect of it so much.
6. Why law?
It a the best way for a smart person with no mechanical ability to help people.
