Today, a client settled his case with his ex wife. We fought for over a year and over the weekend he decided, and she agreed, it would be best to put down arms before the trial set for tomorrow. Since we have heard that before, the other attorney and I made sure the terms were reduced to an Order that both would sign before we gave up the trial date. Fortunately, they signed. I hope it works out for them. I know they have saved some stress and money. It certainly makes my day when people can work through things and compromise. It only works when both sides are willing to let the other side get something they want. If the goal is to destroy, then there is no reasoning with the opponent.
The added bonus, their peace, allowed me to relax and enjoy the concert with friends I had planned to attend. Had they not resolved their action, I would have been squeezing in a couple of sets and off to bed.
So off I went with three wonderful ladies from the neighborhood and my daughter with two of her friends. The weather held, the music was great, and the company even better. A true win-win.
