Punzi's Corner Blog: Heart-wrenching

Heart-wrenching

This is what I don't like about family law practice.

There are times when as a lawyer, you have to get what's best for your client. But you have to play by the rules at the same time.

The lawyer in me says we got what's best for our client, within the rules.

But the father in me says to hell with the rules and I will not let the other party get even an inch.

Well it was a good thing I was not the one attending that hearing today. Personally, I would have advised them to just run and run as fast as they can.

Well I hope tomorrow will be better. For all of us.

2 Objection(s):

At 11:52 PM, Paul said...: OT: Nakalipat na ba kayo?
At 11:57 PM, Punzi said...: Hi Paul!

We will open our new office on 08 December 2008, as our lease expires in the old place on 30 November 2008.

But we have to sign the new lease and put in our downpayment and start construction this month.

regards to you, the Mrs. and your family

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.

Side Oath

The Lawyer's Oath
I do solemnly swear that
I will maintain allegiance to
the Republic of the Philippines,
I will support its Constitution
and obey the laws as well as
the legal orders of the
duly constituted authorities therein;
I will do no falsehood,
nor consent to the doing of any in court;
I will not wittingly or willingly
promote or sue any groundless,
false or unlawful suit,
nor give aid nor consent to the same;
I will delay no man for money or malice,
and will conduct myself as a lawyer
according to the best of my knowledge
and discretion with all good fidelity
as well to the courts as to my clients;
and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion.
So help me God.
