I take a last look around my office before I walk out for the last time. I feel like a married person losing a spouse. This place was my home for thirty years, for better or worse, in sickness and health, in good times and bad. It was the previous six months that garnered the badsix months and a mere eight new clients. My partners voted me out of the law firm that I founded when I was fresh out of law school.
Dont take it personally, Managing Partner Everett Evans told me, its only business. Yes, but until that moment, it was my business, and now he says its not? Just shove me out the door? Article Eight he began, but I shut him down. I know all about Article Eight of our Partnership Agreement, the right to vote out a non-producing partner, the emphasis on non.
I have no explanation. New work has just vanished, and I am kicking myself every morning while I shave and have to look into the eyes of a man who chose law over medicine or dentistry. If your customers have insurance, youre a doctor and you get paid. If they dont have insuranceyoure a lawyer and lucky to get paid. A doctor wouldnt dream of taking on a patient who has no insurance. Lawyerslawyers do it every time a new case walks in.
Suzanne Strunk, my secretary, appears with yet another cardboard box to hold the final artifacts that prove I have been a member of the firm the framed certificate of my good standing in Illinois Attorneys for Criminal Justice, my certificate for finishing Trial Lawyers College in Reno, my certificate of membership in Rotaryall three listing the name of my law firm. Plus, the small stuff from the middle drawer in my Italian desk, including a stack of unused business cards with my law firms name in raised letters. It all goes into the box, and then I stand and clap my hands together, scattering the imaginary dust my life has collected.
