"It's not enough to convey to the client that one's counsel has been impeccably researched and is therefore fully informed. It's just as important to establish that intangible and hard to define measure of trust that engenders confidence in the lawyer's counsel. More than twenty years in the practice of law have shown me, in short, that, in the final analysis, and for a variety of reasons, it's the connections we build with others that prove most important to the truly accomplished, and blessed, professional."
