Peter Hahn - Law Office of Peter A. Hahn
"When I first started practicing many people encouraged me to do something other than working with children and families.  Thankfully, I decided otherwise. I now focus on juvenile delinquency, special education, and adoption cases and have found my work to be exciting and rewarding." 

Jennifer Tucker - Of Counsel at Littler Mendelson, P.C.
"A partner once told me to "never give an inch" to opposing counsel. Actually, by figuring out when and where to give an inch you avoid unproductive power struggles and often promote resolution.  You must never sacrifice your client's ultimate goals, but you also must not confuse ego with competence."  

Daniel C.  Winston - Partner at Choate, Hall & Stewart LLP
"In a class the first day of law school, one professor said that doing well was all about understanding the competing theories, and that the "Blackletter law" was not important.  Very bad (and I would say dishonest) advice.  That screwed me up for a semester before I figured it out."

Sarah C. Richmond - Partner at Gesmer Updegrove LLP
"After graduating from law school I was given the opportunity to work for a law firm in Japan for two years.  My parents tried to talk me out of it, but luckily I didn't take their advice.  Living in Tokyo was one of the best experiences of my life."

Richard M. Zielinski - Director at Goulston & Storrs, A Professional Corporation
"When Hill & Barlow dissolved in 2002 many well-meaning colleagues advised me not to join another mid-sized firm, claiming they are dinosaurs doomed to extinction. Thankfully, I rejected their advice and came to Goulston & Storrs, a mid-sized Boston-based firm.  We enjoy the highest quality of practice in a collegial environment with an excellent client base and are very much alive and prospering."
