Berlin Law Firm April 2018

Meet Our Paralegal

Cyndie!

Here at Berlin Law Firm, we have a new paralegal with us, Cyndie Wood. Cyndie has been in law for about 18 years and first got involved with Lee Berlin through a mutual friend. Of Berlin, she says, “The reason why I’m very impressed with him is that he’s more for the client than about the money.” Berlin Law Firm’s focus is one of a kind, and everyone at the firm puts all they can into this branch. “I’ve been with this line of law for a long while, and I’m impressed with how client- orientated Lee is.” “When you put so many years into a career, and you go with someone who continues to help out everyone,” Cyndie explains, “who you work for is a reflection of who you are, and who you employ is a reflection on you. That’s why I chose Lee. My goal in life is to work for someone who loves this field as much as I do and who really appreciates this branch of law, and that’s Lee.” Berlin Law is very team-based. When a client walks through the door, it’s a group effort to ensure they are taken care of. “Everyone plays a part when a client comes in,” Cyndie says. “If we’re going to succeed, we’re going to succeed together.” When she’s not working, Cyndie is spending time with her two children and three grandchildren. Her grandchildren are Larami (age 10), Kylar (age 8), and Cade (age 5), and her children are April and Zac. They like to go camping in the summer and enjoy winter resorts in the colder months. “We go to Winter Park in February of almost every year,” Cyndie remembers fondly. “We’re an adventurous family. We go from hot to cold or cold to hot.” Cyndie’s passion for her career and her family reflects on our company. Berlin Law strives for a client-orientated workplace, and with Cyndie on our side, we can be sure each client is appreciated.

Gardening: Bringing Family Together

Why You Should Consider Investing in a Family Garden

Fortunately, it’s spring, and the warm weather, melting snow, and blooming flowers offer a good way to ease restlessness. This season, why not bring your family closer together by starting a family garden? A LEARNING EXPERIENCE Nearly every step in the gardening process can be a learning experience for kids and parents alike. Begin by discussing where you should start and why, what supplies you’ll need, and the types of plants you want to grow. Gardening also offers opportunities to learn about science, ecology, and nutrition. COLLABORATION Gardening gives your family a chance to collaborate. When you’re stuck inside for long periods, you may be spending time together, but it’s usually not quality time. Working in a group to create and maintain a garden is a hands-on experience for everyone. It’s a chance to get the whole family involved with a single project, and you can literally share the fruits of your labor. there are many variables to consider. Do you want to grow edible plants, ones that have magnificent blossoms, or ones that are easy to care for? Flowers are a good start if you want a plant that grows a little faster; plus, they lend a pop of color to your garden. Growing vegetables is also rewarding, as the kids will take great pleasure in eating what they’ve grown. Other possibilities include sunflowers, blackberries, peas, and lettuce. You might be surprised at how willingly children eat their greens when they’ve had a hand in growing them. Family gardens can bring something new and fresh to your home.
