Hi, my name is Marc… and I’m a recovering attorney.  Well, maybe I should say “reformed” instead.  Actually, while I like to make jokes at my former profession’s expense, a good number of my friends are attorneys (or ex-attorneys) and I am privileged to work closely enough with some of them on a [...]]]></description>
