Remember the famous line from the Godfather, "Its just business"? It seems that in today's culture, everything is personal. But, taking things personally drastically diminishes the ability to be professional. From dealing with a difficult judge to dealing with our own staff members- our professionalism is truly all we have. Paul spent 20 years as a prosecutor handling some of the most heart wrenching and gruesome homicides.
