As the title of this video suggests, it's Happy New Year. Happy New Year from us here at the firm. 

Just to let you know we are going through a bit of a downtime right now. I close the firm from Christmas through the New Year in order to give our staff some real-time off, and quite frankly, for me as well. I make these videos. I have a day job as it were at the law firm, as well as as we've discussed in many videos, Pancake Palace. My better half and I set that up. We'll go ahead and put links in the description below for Pancake Palace but yeah and we'd love to see you down there, but it takes its toll. I don't take a lot of time off really. People that see me around or know me know I have my own way working and you may see me in what appears to be off time, but the firm is never closed; we're always dealing with things.

To be clear to our clients that have ongoing case load, and you are discussing things with our attorneys already, yes as necessary they will be dealing with things but we do like to put up the vacation responder on Christmas and go through the New Year because quite honestly, we all just need a little bit of time off at the end of the year in order to sort of decompress as the first quarter in Thailand is always very, very intense so we need to sort of gear up for that and we very much appreciate everybody out there. 

We appreciate our clients, very much, appreciate my staff, Happy New Year to you as well; Happy New Year to everybody. We look forward to being of assistance to you in the coming New Year.
