Many people can call themselves a child of a divorce but our senior paralegal, Casidy Ludwig, has often referred to herself as a child of many divorces. “Both of my parents divorced and remarried many times,” Casidy says. “I remember seeing how divorce impacted people, especially my mom. It was also pretty hard on me as a kid. When I went to college for my paralegal degree, I knew I wanted to go into family law. I wanted to support people who were going through the rough times my momwent through. I also knew how important it was to have someone trying to get what’s best for the kids.” After graduating with her degree in paralegal studies, Casidy started working at a debt collection law firm. It was, to use her own words, “awful.” “In my previous position, I never had any client contact,” Casidy explains. “I never spoke to anyone outside the firm. When I saw that Johnson Law Group was looking for a new paralegal, I applied immediately. I was thrilled to get the job. It meant I was finally doing family law and I actually got to meet my clients. In my job, I’m the first line of defense. I do a lot of research, keep in touch with clients, and make sure everything is able to move smoothly. “I love working at Johnson Law Group because I can see how everyone is doing all they can to get the best possible outcome for our clients. They’re not cases to us; they’re people. These are mothers, fathers, wives, and husbands who are going through what could be the worst time in their lives. I want my clients to know that we truly care about them and feel that we have their backs every step of the way.” When Casidy isn’t helping families at the firm, she’s taking care of her own family. She and her husband have two young children, a daughter and a son. When the weather’s nice, they like to spend time outside. And when the weather’s not so nice, Casidy and her family like to hang out inside together.
his love language is physical touch, so us cuddling and looking into each other’s eyes will truly make his day. I’m talking about two separate acts of love that are both objectively worthy of appreciation, but the impact of one act is much stronger than the other. It’s sort of like the difference between saying “Thank you” to your partner versus feeling like doing the “Carlton” dance from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air sitcom! By recognizing the love languages of ourselves and our partners, we can let our partners know how we want to receive love and learn the best ways to show our partner that we care. One of the assumptions in Chapman’s book is, of course, that the relationship is a healthy one. For people with partners or other family members struggling with negative forces, such as manipulative and addictive habits, I would recommend a book called “Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life,” by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. Sometimes, I’ve noticed that couples get so focused on showing and receiving love that they lose sight of what limits are appropriate to maintain a pattern of healthy and positive interactions. I am so grateful that Myles emailed me back in law school and that I responded. Our relationship has guided me through many challenges and has helped me become a better person. By working together to counsel people going through a difficult divorce or custody matter, or a contentious protection order or guardianship, Myles and I are humbled to guide our clients through some of their biggest challenges in life and provide an action plan to help them come out stronger in the end.
