Robert Carey of Orr & Reno

We selected eight of the best lawyers from around the state for portraits and asked them to share a favorite quotation and to tell us why they love what they do. These profiles appeared along with Woodward/White’s annual Best Lawyers in America list, as published in our November issue.

“The people I love the best jump into work headfirst without dallying in the shallows and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.”— Marge Piercy

Litigation — Land Use & Zoning

“The most exciting part of my job is going to trial. It’s long hours, hard work, little sleep. But it’s a great feeling when a jury returns a verdict for your client. Most of what I do, though, is help people outside of court. It’s listening to their story, researching the law, interviewing witnesses, reading documents, collaborating with colleagues, and honing arguments to persuade the other lawyer, the judge, and, if necessary, the jury. This is the everyday commitment that’s required to solve a client’s legal problem and solving their problem, however I can, is the most enjoyable part of my job.”
