Why We Are Lawyers
In 1999 the partners wrote down what it meant to them to be a lawyer and why Kennedy Spanner Lawyers was founded.
... because every day I get to help people through difficult times in their lives
... because I can help the disadvantaged
... because I honour the position of trust afforded me
... because the right to a fair trial is the foundation stone on which a free society is built
... because I relish the challenge of achieving the absolute best for my client
... because I realise that being an excellent Solicitor includes being a shoulder to lean on
... because sometimes I can indirectly touch the lives of children without them ever knowing
... because I enjoy constantly learning about not only the law but about myself
... because I am answering the call to serve others
... because I want to make a difference!
