To my dear clients, colleagues, and friends,
It is with mixed emotions that I write to tell you that, effective Friday, September 21, I will join the ranks of the retired. I look forward to this next chapter of my life and the new adventures it will bring, but I have cherished my role as a lawyer in this community for over 49 years. It is difficult to imagine my life as anything else.
Nevertheless, it is time. Last week I turned 75 years of age. Reaching the ¾ of a century mark reminded me that, if I hope to be able to enjoy a retirement, I’d better get started now.
Of course I would never let my personal life jeopardize my clients’ interests. My partner, Laura Graham, has been involved in my practice behind the scenes for years – it is time she officially took the wheel. I have brought her up to speed on all the particulars that might affect you. I have the utmost confidence in her ability to serve you well.
Thank you so much for your trust and confidence in me over the years. It has been a joy to serve as your counsel, to work alongside you as a colleague, and to count myself among your friends.
Steve
