Spotted at OEB law-- one modern lawyer in action! Don Hayes is sporting the casual look,
complete with Khakis, Keenes, and of course one chillin’ bundle of joy. We here at OEB law go with the flow, because
that’s the Vermont way of doing things.
About 10 years ago, I, too, sported the office bassinet having taken,
oh, 2.5 weeks off throughout my whole cesarean ordeal. We were in the midst of a rather large case
and I did not have the luxury of taking more time. Everybody here was accommodating and
understanding as always-- as I dove right back in, baby in tow.
Some days, we take the 11:59:59pm electronic filing deadline
literally. We channel our inner New
Yorkers and stay until the wee hours to meet that due date. On any given day we may have hours of 6am-4pm
for one, while they are 9am to 8pm for others.
Soccer tournament? Tennis? No
problem! Just make it up another
time. Ray Obuchowski can be spotted here
on most weekends because that is when it is quiet. We are flexible with our clients’ schedules
as well. If anyone understands that life
happens, it is a bankruptcy lawyer.
Hearing all of the humbling stories from clients teaches us to enjoy every
minute of life, while simultaneously diving into the law practice with both
feet (sometimes 4…see photo #2).
Like many other Vermont law offices, you may come to OEB law
to find a dog, or a baby, or an attorney wearing an old T-shirt, but no matter
what else you see, you are guaranteed to find live humans who are caring,
hard-working professionals. Unlike the
bankruptcy debtor in the recent US Supreme Court case, Law vs. Siegel, who fabricated a mortgage to create the illusion of
less equity in his home, our Vermont clients are also honest, hard-working
people looking for a fresh start or solution to their unfortunate
situation. There is no place I’d rather
practice law. We strive to be
accessible, knowledgeable and practical, because that is the Vermont way!
