My Lawyer-Daughter extraordinaire!

 

Don’t sign anything until…

the truth about the lawyer-daughter of David L Lewis

As adjudicated elsewhere, Kay and I (mostly her) had five children, four sons and one daughter. Which does make it lot easier to pick-out favorite child of the female persuasion. It does, however, make her the hardest to know what to write. What more can be said about the world’s most nearly perfect daughter?

Well, obviously the duty must fall on this entirely neutral and unbiased observer to submit for objective consideration how she is also the world’s most nearly perfect lawyer-daughter. Therefore, Herewith entered into evidence are five Exhibits definitively demonstrating Susan E Skelton JD is world’s most nearly perfect lawyer-daughter.

Exhibit #1) Never One Of Them TV Lawyers

If you live in or near Seattle area and need a lawyer, don’t expect to see my daughter on TV hustling business. Just ask any random person coming out of the local Court House. If that person knows or has heard of her they are more likely than not to recommend Susan. So many folks appreciate and recommend her she had to stop advertising entirely.

Exhibit #2) Lawyer You Can Talk To

Unlike a lot of folks, she will listen long enough a fellow can finish their thought uninterpreted; and she answers the question asked! Also, knowing the failures of which humans are prone, she doesn’t use those failures against you (guess how her daddy knows that).

Exhibit#3) She Knows When To Be HLIC

Nobody needs a lawyer because everything is going well and they know what to do. There are times, though, when the best thing to do is to let the Head-Lawyer-In-Charge take charge. When needed Susan can be the Boss without being bossy, making her clients (and me, her mother, and her brothers) glad she’s there.

Exhibit #4) She Would Do What You Would Do

In my many expeditions into world of medicine I’ve made a point of saying my lawyer-daughter has ‘absolute discretion’. Just recently she got calls out of the blue from people she didn’t know asking her to make life decisions on behalf of her favorite client, me. I know that she would do what I would do; doing it objectively, correctly, and in my best interest. That’s the kind of lawyer, and daughter, and woman she is.

Exhibit #5) She Signs Stuff For You

Susan drove me to the hospital. She signed papers for ER, permission to treat, permission to charge insurance; and, early the next morning, permission for heart surgery. She says, “Don’t sign anything until your lawyer reads it.” Turns out that if you’re pumped full of meds and play dumb your lawyer will sign it for you. At least she will if your lawyer is your favorite daughter.

I mean, ask yourself, would an ordinary lawyer do all that?

I rest her case.
