Lawyers love to chase the wrong trophies.
My favorite trophy is sitting in my office right now, but it isn't from a courtroom battle.
It's the 2026 Farmington Little League Championship trophy my Claggett, Sykes & Garza, LLC Pirates won last Saturday; it’s also the one I'm proudest of.
Six years of coaching baseball has taught me what owning your own firm is really for: building a life where you can do great work for your clients AND be on the field for your kids.
They're only young for a blink. And then they're grown and gone.
Being present for the games, the practices, and watching my son and daughters grow up out there? No accolade or paycheck could ever compete.
If you're at a crossroads, and one road lets you show up for the people who matter most, take it. That window doesn't stay open long.
Go Pirates! ⚾🏆
