Between what was and what will be lies the here and now. Twenty Three years of successfully practicing law for the benefit of my clients has made that awareness more and more acute as the years go by. Recently I have come to realize that by setting aside what has happened and the hope of what may happen my clients and I have had productive meetings in preparing cases for trial by simply focusing on the facts that are established without interpretation colored by memory of how my client(s) wanted to remember what had happened and then establishing what those facts support. The here and now is the place where strategy is born to present the facts from the past in a coherent chronology of what the precise truth was and remains, and what was the illusion of perspective from both sides of a dispute. Success comes from the point between what was and what will be and plain and simple focus on that point and what it means to the fact pattern being investigated.
