For most, the money gets betterand for all, the clients and witnesses are respectful whenwe do our best to render complexities into homilies.On the way to the courthouse or meetingswe pass carpenters shivering in the wintry blastand roofers sweltering under the humid summer sun.Bankers and brokers deliver depressing news over and overwhile insurance agents and people of sales fall flat.Doctors and architects ache for less government intervention.Teachers worry themselves sick about violence and state exams.Another fall season will come with bright colors and crisp air.Winter’s chill will loom in the distance shrouded with fog.We will continue to go forward, grateful for every chance.Douglas Haynes is a family lawattorney and mediator with Fernandez& Haynes in Louisville •Law Poem!ccur!""te ccountingsThe Back O ffice of the Legal ProfessionFIDUCIARY ACCOUNTINGS MADE PROFITABLE:High quality, comprehensive accountings for trusts, estate, and guardianshipscoupled with an efficient process that ensures speed and accuracy.
