It’s hard to fathom that ten years have passed since we put two computers and two phones into a temporary office and officially opened the doors on our law firm.  Suddenly Wanzer Edwards, PC is turning ten, and we are definitely ten years older.  Occasionally we reminisce about the relative simplicity of the earliest days where we were very much like cartoon characters who ran off the side of a cliff but didn’t even know enough to go crashing down.  Somehow, we have muddled and lucked our way through a decade, and we like to think we have learned a thing or two along the way.  Here are ten things we know now that the younger versions of ourselves who started this great adventure had yet to fully discover.

I think we can all agree it would have been better if we had never heard of COVID-19. But I am grateful that its emergence gave us the ability to slow down (albeit briefly, because now we seem to be going at break-neck speed!) and really assess our business needs. Through it, we learned we don’t need a large office with all the overhead that goes along with it. We can serve our clients just as well from our home offices while still having the ability to meet in person when needed.

An extremely informal survey of central Indiana judicial officers has revealed as many ways to divide the stimulus check as there are judicial officers. Some counties do not even have consensus among judges who hear family law cases. However, here are some options for attorneys to consider when speaking with their clients and when presenting cases for division of stimulus payments to the court (actual results in court may vary depending on a number of factors).
