Wow, what an amazing adventure we are on here at CreatiVenture Law.  In the last six months we have moved into our new offices, expanded our practice yet again, and celebrated great acheivements with our clients. It is so great to have our new attorney Mike Leinauer on the team.  I've known Mike for years, having worked with him in the land of the giant law firm.  After starting my own firm, Dennis Donahue and Associates, and now growing as CreatiVenture Law, I always wanted Mike to be part of what we are doing here.  He gets into the technology like I do, and he shares my passion for doing business in an honest, down to earth way.  We are also excited for CreatiVenture Law client Highland Pharmacueticals for being honored by the Bar Association for technology that essentially keeps the bad guys from turning simple pseudoephedrine into illegal drugs like meth.

I spent today hanging out with a bunch of loners.  Okay, mabye not loners exactly, but definately people I can relate to.  I am attending the Missouri Bar's Solo Firm conference at Tan Tara Resort at Lake of the Ozarks.  It's been a great day of hanging out at our CreatiVenture Law exhibit booth talking to other folks who have that entrpreneurial spirit I always talk about.  We are small business owners with big ideas.  We compare notes and we send business each other's way.  We are "Jack of all trades" without huge staffs to do the small stuf we may have taken for granted a a big firm.  One minute we are writing legal opinions, the next minute we are unjamming the printer or setting up our own trade show booths.   It's alot of work, but I like it that way... I can honestly say to my business clients that I know how they feel.  I can help out other lawyers and clients find each other, because I know them personally.  I wish there were more genuine interactions with people in business and customer service these day.  It would go a long way in this scary economy.  So hats off to all you "loners" out there working to make your dreams happen.   Hang in there.  It's worth it.  You can do it!
