Office Procedure

His practice begins before breakfast and rarely survives the first walk.

  1. The Knock

    A mail slot moves. Counsel immediately requests privacy.

  2. The Consultation

    Every statement is reviewed from beneath the conference table.

  3. The Retainer

    One biscuit secures representation. A second protects privilege.

  4. The Hearing

    Long ears absorb testimony. Hazel eyes reject follow-up questions.

  5. The Adjournment

    Proceedings end at the sound of a leash.

Core Competencies

Three services, all billed in biscuits.

  • Side-Eye Review

    Detects leading questions and unguarded sandwiches.

  • Silent Counsel

    Advises saying nothing until the treat bag opens.

  • Doorway Objection

    Sustained whenever the mailman approaches without representation.

Say less. Bring the biscuits.
