Caregivers

Nature of Caregiving

Nature of Caregiving
Caregiving takes many forms. Many of us help older, sick, or disabled family members and friends every day. We know we are helping, but we don't think of ourselves as caregivers. We are glad to do this and feel rewarded by it, but if the demands are heavy, over time we can also become exhausted and stressed. We think we should be able to handle caregiving roles on top of busy work and family schedules and begin to feel guilty and depressed as our stamina wanes.

Proximity to power has an unsurprising ability to mutate a politician’s spinal cord into bright yellow jelly.

Nature of caregiving

About 44 million Americans provide 37 billion hours of unpaid, "informal" care each year for adult family members and friends with chronic illnesses or conditions that prevent them from handling daily activities such as bathing, managing medications or preparing meals on their own.

Tom is a smart guy who works hard for his clients and has a great sense of humor. People looking for trial lawyers sometimes underestimate “people skills.” Tom has big time “lawyer skills”and big time “people skills.” His clients benefit from that.

I met him while we were both attending the Trial Lawyers College, and got to work with him on multiple cases. His ability is unmatched by most in the legal community, and I wholeheartedly endorse his work.
