Client Testimonial.

Having Kevin’s counsel is having strong support. He’s concerned, careful and kind.

He helped me see my way clear in a dilemma, discussing the options, the net benefits from each, and helped me make an calm decision on how to move forward.

There was no pressure – just a feeling of peace. He even ghost-wrote a letter for me (imagine, I’m the writer!) which smoothed negotiations and avoided putting the other side on the defensive.

The issue was settled quickly, out of court, and satisfactorily. No worries.

High Hopes,

Wow, it’s July already. Are you half-way to achieving your 2008 goals? It’s time to review which ones you’ve crossed off the list (to make you feel good), and look at what is still left to accomplish. If those to-do’s seem to-big, then break them down into bite-sized chunks and get back to work. Remember the the quote at the top of the page about how accepting things the way they are or accepting our personal responsibility to change them is the most profound choice we make. Consciously accept your responsibility to achieve your 2008 goals. We’re half way there.

What’s “Holistic Law” Anyway?

Here’s a good article for an overview:

Checking In

I’ve not posted for a while. Sorry about that.

I’ve been keeping very busy lately working on the book, giving presentations, and serving clients. There has been a flurry of corporate formation work coming through the office, most of which also includes trademark work and a bunch of contract development. I’ve been asked to start writing a regular (at least quarterly) column on business legal issues for the Northern Colorado Business Report. My first column is scheduled for the first issue in July.

I was pleased to present a session on my Strange Fire: 5 Guiding Values content at the annual conference of the International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers last month at a retreat center outside of Detroit. This is a group of lawyers dedicated to using the law for peace and healing rather than escalating conflict – not a bad goal, and a great group of people.

I’ll spend the summer trying to finish the book manuscript. The topic is spiritual creativity. I’m also planning to start doing some keynotes on this topic starting in 2009. Hopefully the keynotes will help promote the book, and the book will help promote the keynote bookings

That’s it for today. Back to work.

Strange Fire: 5 Guiding Values Update

I had an opportunity to have my free ebook edited by a wonderfully ruthless friend. I’ve updated the text and PDF. You can download it over on the Guiding Value Website.
