Old Lawyers don't retire, they just lose their
Appeal, Briefs, Judgment, or you fill in the blank.
We're not planning on retiring for a long, long time. In fact, we just attended a seminar with Atticus on how to build our practice - so after 11 years, we still consider ourselves to be a growing firm. If you are lawyer who is thinking of retiring, go sign up for this seminar with Atticus's Mark Powers.

Teamwork & My Staff's Email Addresses
Celebrating the power of a team and a dream: "No leader ever won a battle single-handed. No company ever produced a first-class product without first-class people and providers. Amercian astronauts may have walked solo on the moon, but 220 milllion American citizens flew them there." This is the intro by Dan Zadra to a book I love which is titled "Together We Can." He goes on to say "The truth is, our world has become too fast and complicated for any one person to know everything or do everything. ... The role of today's leader is to help create a shared vision, and to establish an atmosphere of trust, freedom and mutual respect." Here's the author's favorite two quotes: "Ask your team - they know the answer." and "Hire the best. Pay them fairly. Communicate frequently. Provide meaningful challenges and rewards. Believe in them. Trust them. Get out of their way - they'll knock your socks off."
I have always given and continue to give personal attention to each of my cases and I keep my case number at a level where I know what is going on with each and every one of m y cases. Yet, I have found, over the years, that even so, I can't do it alone and that I need help. I need an excellent staff. Luckily, I've got a one and I like them and trust them and I know that they can knock your socks off! Here they are: Kimberly, Lindsey, Kelly, and Julie:
My legal assistant Kimberly has been with me for four years now. She started as a receptionist and has been promoted from within because of her excellent performance. Her role here is much like that of an emergency room nurse in the hospital. She knows whats going on with all of the cases and what needs to be done right away. She knows how to get things done quickly and correctly. She also manages our other staff Julie and Lindsey. Kim knows the law but is not able to give legal advice; she is the best person, however, to answer day to day questions about medical records, medical bills, health insurance or Medicare and Medicaid liens, and property damage claims. Kim's email address is kimatscottandfenderson@gmail.com.
Kelly also assists me in the personal injury cases. Kelly is a graduate of Stetson Law School and she is awaiting her bar exam results. Kelly is also an excellent resource for clients but is also not able to give legal advice (yet). You can contact Kelly at kellyatscottandfenderson@gmail.com.
I love my staff and I couldn't do my job without them, I am so thankful for my team. I hope that you will find my staff to be friendly and knowledgable and that they give you an excellent level of service. Please feel free to email me personally at fenderlaw@aol.com with any comments you may have about my staff, I love hearing from you and I want to ensure that we continue in our dedication to excellence.
