There is nothing more important to us than family. Whatever it is we do with our education, our careers, where we want to live—we make those decisions based on what we think will be best for our families. So when it comes time to make the difficult decisions that must be made during times of family strife, you want someone who has stood in your shoes and understands how vital it is to protect your best interests and those of the ones you love most. You also want someone who can help you to think not just in the short term, but how things will look years down the road when the immediate turmoil is long past.
