Hard Won Wisdom

Jun 23, 2010

The story of Regina DeMeo as chronicled in the Washington Post this weekend is one of hard won wisdom.  She was a traditional litigation divorce attorney:  Get the facts and numbers, prepare the case, take it to court.  That also meant largely ignoring the human element of divorce.
