A Gift from a Client

This was part of a thank you gift from a client. I had to share it...

Diane is a great lawyer, much better than most,
To being the best, I would most definitely toast.
A collaborative law lawyer, and mediator too,
There’s pretty much nothing that she can’t do.
I came to her in a most dreadful way,
She took me on board. Up up and away.
At volume 3, and tab 100 or more,
I don’t think she knew what was in store,
Late nights at the computer screen,
What does all this legal paperwork mean?

Well she got him to pay his child support,
But dismiss the gains? No she did not abort!
She came at him with all sorts of grief,
He had to read all of those legal briefs.
Keeping my children’s needs at the centre of it all,
Their best interests at heart, her eye was on the ball.
Settlement and Case Conferences, many – not a few,
Temporary Orders, and Contempt Motions too!
Minutes of settlement, she did those by the bunches,
Late for family dinners and giving up lunches.
She really and truly is the best by far,
And she did a wondrous thing by passing the bar.
To now help those out, by bringing peace into their lives,
And tries to make sure we DON’T JUST LIVE, BUT THRIVE!
