Nice Job
Only occasionally do I really enjoy a meeting room full of lawyers. Last night was one of those occasions. My partner of 14 years was honored with the likes of Hardy Myers, Greg MacPherson and colleagues from across our state. The reason: The Oregon State Bar’s Annual President’s Award, given for meritorious service to the profession. Not just our clients, but the profession.
In large part, this award recognized work in support of access to justice, and in support of contingent fee representation. But really, there was more. The years of dedication that David has demonstrated in fighting for the rights of employees, injured people and consumers culminated in this well-deserved award.He is also a mentor, formally and informally to younger lawyers. Well, older lawyers like me as well.
It is easy to get lost in the day to day work we do. We face piles of papers and loads of arguments. Last night allowed a bit of a vitory lap, together with many others who practice the profession. Sure, I could list them all, but only one has been a friend for over 25 years and a mentor to me…..So congrats to David Sugerman from the staff and partner here at Paul & Sugerman, PC.

Jeez guys-I’m practically red faced. Thank you both for your kind words. Now back to the salt mines.
