Thank you for your service. What a beautiful smile! I share your views on what I'm most proud of in the work i do. I manage a Bankruptcy Law Firm in Pontiac, MI. Bankruptcy is usually the end resort of a very stressful situation. Often my clients are ashamed or fearful of what the process will be. i try to make it fun and teach them to let go of things they can't control and that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Pontiac is a small town and everywhere I go I hear "Ms. Johnson! " a former or current client is yelling my name, they run up and hug me and we chat like old friends. They are genuinely happy to see me because I've helped them through a difficult time. It feels awesome! I feel the love!
