My first office was located in downtown Ravenna, Ohio, across the street from the courthouse in Portage County. It had one room with a desk and a typewriter. 
It wasn’t much, but it was my beginning.
I had a second office in my hometown, Mantua, Ohio. The one in Mantua was even smaller, but it was a good start. My grandmother owned a bar, Country Inn, and sent everyone from the bar to me to get a Will. Knowing her, I assume she paid for most of those Wills.
The photo quality could be better, but my dad made the two signs from campaign signs. He did the lettering when I ran for public office a few years earlier. I beat a guy named Perry Mason (imagine that) 2-1 but lost to the incumbent.
There were no cell phones in those days, so I used call forwarding, driving from office to office. I 
did well, but after several months, a new opportunity presented itself, and I moved to Lancaster, Ohio. It was a good run. I stayed in Lancaster for 38 years as a trial attorney, spending more time in court than most attorneys.
While Lancaster was, to me, a larger version of Mantua, it was time to go home. I no longer have 11 employees, including another attorney, working for me. I’ve come full circle doing what I love, engaging in the practice of law and helping folks from one room with one desk, a computer, and a keyboard.
