I am both honoured and humbled to receive this client’s feedback. Family law can be a challenging practice area, but when you are able to really make a difference to someone’s life, it is also one of the most rewarding. #inspiringlawyers #makingadifference #familylaw #gunnercookelawyers

Many memorable moments from the California Lawyers Association Annual Meeting this past weekend, but this one stands particularly tall: I was honored to be sworn in as the Secretary by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California, Justice Patricia Guerrero. Her humility and grace shine through, especially given her numerous accomplishments, including serving previously as the Supervising Judge of the San Diego Superior Court's Family Law division. Despite her packed schedule, she generously took time to converse with our incoming #CLA officers about the challenges and opportunities facing California lawyers. 🏛️⚖️ #calawyers #familylaw #TogetherWeLaw #CaliforniaLawyers #CLAMembers"

As any legal professional in family law can attest, the environment is rife with high-conflict people and situations — and the hostile communications that inevitably result. Thankfully, there are ways to adapt our own interactions and written communications with high-conflict people that accommodate their inability to solve problems in a normal way. One tried-and-true method is called BIFF (Brief Informative, Friendly, Firm). In this month’s Raising the Bar CLE, Bill Eddy, LCSW, CFLS, author, and co-founder of the High Conflict Institute, will empower legal professionals with a proven approach to ethically addressing challenging interactions in the legal profession. Through real-world examples, he’ll share his four-step BIFF method of writing careful and ethical communications that defuse hostility and get results.
