Had first taste of something I’ll probably need to get used to!

Settled a client’s case (my first settlement!) in small claims well above what we were expecting. Client was happy but also said she “didn’t get anything she wanted out of the deal” (wanted the opposing party to feel remorse more than anything) and didn’t thank me or my co-counsel for closing an ordeal she’s been litigating for more than 2 years.

It felt fitting for how unceremonious settling my first case was supposed to feel.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the kind words and stories of shared experiences. They’re very fun to read and I’m glad to know I’m not alone lol
