Kevin E Houchin

""In an age of competing demands on attorneys' time, where one is never truly unreachable from the office, Kevin Houchin has written a short but insightful guide to becoming the lawyer that you want to be, instead of merely being the lawyer that circumstances have molded you into. Houchin blends his principles with practical tips on how to regain control over your professional life, from the importance of ""showing up"" and making yourself known, to the need to know thyself and determine what is it that YOU want yourself to be. It is a short read, but it may be helpful in becoming the reflective practitioner that you want to become."" Jed Sorokin-Altmann, Esq. ""Such a quiet, yet profound missive. I am encouraged that legal practitioners will be able to avail themselves of this gentle aid to wake them up and live consciously at such a critical juncture in their personal and professional lives."" Idara E. Bassey, J.D., LL.M.
