Recently, Lexblog interviewed me about blogging and my New Hampshire Family Law Blog in a post on Kevin O'Keefe's Real Lawyers Have Blogs. Take a look if you are interested in blogging, how I got started and the rewards and challenges of blogging.

A new divorce and family law blog written by Nancy Van Tine joins the blogosphere just over the border in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Divorce Law Monitor has so far covered topics on the lawyer/client relationship, domestic violence, and Massachusett's new child support guidelines. It is good to see new voices added to the discussion of divorce and family law issues, especially in a state with new and emerging family law topics at hand. We will read Attorney Van Tine's blog with interest.
I found a great post by Michael Sherman of the Alabama Family Law Blog titled The Style of Your Divorce Lawyer: The Lamb, the Pitbull and the Fox. As Attorney Sherman discusses in his blog, I am also frequently asked by prospective clients if I will be aggressive or act like a tiger. The better question to pose is what is your style of lawyering and how will that impact my case? Attorney Sherman identifies three types or attorneys: the lamb, the pitbullI, and the fox. I prefer the fox:
The fox is wise and cunning. He sees the big picture. The fox is assertive when he needs to be, compromising when it benefits his clients’ long-term best interests, and always aware of the many different consequences his actions have on his clients. He stands on principle. Yet, he is a strong advocate for his client when it promotes his client’s long-term best interests. He recognizes that reaching a fair settlement is always preferable to trying the case and leaving it up to the judge. Yet, he also knows that if a fair settlement is not forthcoming, then he must be willing and able to prepare to effectively litigate the case in court.
