[quote=Anonymous]I would miss most things in my child's life for important work - concerts, soccer games, school events. If the court scheduled a trial, I would also miss a birthday party if there was no other choice. But I would never voluntarily put myself in the situation of having to do so. We tried for years to have my son and spent thousands of dollars on fertility treatments. This is it for me, no more kids possible. I'm attending every birthday of his that I can. If I could not do that consistent with zealous representation of a particular client, I would decline the case. I don't judge someone else for making a different choice at all, or think that it makes them a bad mother, but that's how I feel. My kid would be fine if I missed the party, but its important to ME to be there, because I'm never going to attend another 7th birthday of any child of mine.[/quote]
