No one knows human life better than a lawyer in its most diverse, most dramatic, and most painful aspects; at times its darkest, yet often its most sublime.

The quality of a good lawyer must always yield to the quality of the cause, and the cause itself must yield to the pursuit of justice, which is never declared or experienced in the abstract, but always in an individual and personal way. Justice is always achieved in relation to the specific case, to the real problem at hand; and that is why anguish is always individual, although it may be shared.

Through the simple act of granting a power of attorney, the client is assured that their secrets, their suffering, and their joys are entrusted to their representative, who from that moment onwards embraces them, reflecting upon, understanding, and clarifying them before those whose duty it is to judge them.

Above all, the lawyer values freedom. This explains a certain natural pride, at times irreverent, and a disregard for anything that is merely official or hierarchical. Indeed, legal practice is a refuge of freedom, and there can be no true advocacy without freedom.

The lawyer holds in their hands the fortune and, often, the honour and even the life of their clients. For this reason, organisation, discipline, and promptness are the only guarantees of serving clients well and of practising the profession with integrity.
