When I was going through my outrageous legal battle, it was all I could do to function as a mom, veterinarian and litigant. Despite this, I took my role as a my lawyer’s client very seriously, equally important to my employment as a veterinarian. I responded immediately every request for information from my lawyers. I felt it was my job to be the best possible client to my lawyers and to assistant them in the battle of my life. I would devote time every week to working on my case…I wasn’t going to leave it to chance.
