And it made me reflect on my career. After 15 years practicing, one always wants to be recognized by their peers and hope that after so much struggle, defending so many clients’ rights and standing up for justice, that I have reached the peak of my career. There are so many notable cases I am proud of. So many loan modifications and mortgage balances I have been able to get forgiven. So many short sales and over $14,000,000 million in loans written off. So many closings, so many estates and lives planned for the future. Certainly a pat on the back and a smile is in order. Yet, as an attorney, one never really feels at the top of their game. There is always the next client, the next fight, the next case. There is always one other person that wants to buy a house and is in need of my services. Or another person that is struggling to pay their home and needs assistance. Some have never heard of me and I must prove myself all over again. Most come referred, already aware of my skills even before they walk in the door.
Certainly I would love an Oscar for my 15 years practicing and assisting clients. I feel I have earned one. Yet, in the same breath, I feel that there is still so much left to do. I love what I do. It is not work for me. It is a career and my life. I love the practice of real estate and mortgage law. And I could not imagine myself doing anything else.
So, until I get my Oscar, I will continue to help people who need my help. The struggling homeowner or the millionaire looking to purchase an estate.
I am always a phone call away.
