As a family law attorney, I get to see the best and worst of families. I serve people raising children that are not biologically theirs. I serve people who turn over every rock to deliver the best care to aging and physically declining elderly parents.

However, I am asking you to consider the question today, right now as you read this on your mobile device or computer: Where are you feet? Entertain me and answer aloud.
