Mr. Ress’s book is insightful and entertaining. More than a memoir, much more than a collection of anecdotes, his account demonstrates that humility and kindness can win the day – even in the legal profession! Given Mr. Ress’s exceptional legal skills and extraordinary work-ethic, he was bound to be a successful attorney. But it’s clear that it was his uncommon decency and empathy that won him life-long clients and friends. So many of his stories had me thinking, “What would I have done in his shoes?” Time after time, with wisdom and uncommon humility, Mr. Ress does the right thing. In an era of sanctioned indecency and intolerance, Mr. Ress’s book is timely and encouraging. With self-effacing humor and insight, he demonstrates that the virtues of civility and respect are very much alive. I can’t wait for his next book!
