Every year, The NJA hosts their annual conference in a different and interesting city.
This year, Portland Oregon was the venue and I was privileged to be able to attend the conference and man our exhibit booth along with Jeff Glueck, VP Strategic Solutions.
The list of speakers/topics was awesome and a testament to the dedication of personal injury attorneys who invest their time and energy in sharing knowledge with their colleagues.
Our Advocate Capital exhibit was busy with visitors each day and we had a fresh batch of Voodoo Doughnuts (a Portland institution) on the table for caloric enjoyment. I’m not really certain if the visitors came for the donuts, to meet with me or, to gather information. However, whatever works!
Mostly, it was a very special treat for me to meet many of the new NV clients that have worked with me to join the Advocate Capital family and hear them talk about what a difference working with us has made in their practice.
Barbara Gallagher and Craig Kidwell of Kidwell & Gallagher – Reno, one of our newest NV clients, were gracious in allowing me (in the middle) to be photographed with them. I’m having an 8 x 10 made for my office wall!
A special mention for Julie Ostrovsky - Deputy Director of NJA and her staff for organizing and managing a successful event with an enormous number of moving parts. She and her staff did a terrific job and never missed a beat.
I was also honored to meet Brian Nettles of The Nettles Law Firm, the incoming president of NJA whose energy, cordiality and good humor are infectious.
