Yes, you misread it. She was junior partner in a law firm that has been "a law firm in Boston" for 22 years.

"Blake Thornton and Kelly, of which she was the junior partner was a law firm
in Boston for 22 years and had a fierce reputation. Kelly herself, despite only
being a partner for the last 5 years had taken 494 cases and had only lost 8."

She' ...[text shortened]... (as well as after "5 years" ). Might make it more readable.

** Bah! Scooped!

"How long would it take to try 494 cases?"
For the sake of an argument let's say you drank 2 beers each day from each case then it'd take 247 days, or about 8 months.

How is life with Luvox?

I don't know the particulars, but if this was some sort of slam on him, it's not very funny.

I was on Luvox for about a year (for PTSD) until I almost dislocated a co-worker's shoulder during an argument. Luckily, he didn't press the issue or I could have gotten fired. I was off work for about a month before I was cleared to come back to work. Needless to say, I was taken off Luvox.

Oh please Stees,

If I was a rich lawyer I would not be drinking
cases of beer.

I would have cases of Moet & Chandon or Bollinger.

Try please to have some class. If I was billing someone
$500 an hour I would not be drinking Labatts.

Suzi baby, my hero, rushing to defend me
in your high heel boots and red cloak waving
all over the place. Your long blonde hair
drying my tears.

Don't worry honey. When I was 18 I had a very
sensitive nature. But now I'm 52 and I have been
around the block I have developed a very good
immune system to criticism. Very little harms me.
But it's nice to know you care. 🙂

I neither bill $500/hr nor do I drink Labatts. Please, I have more class than that.

Some of us are better at "sorting it out ourselves".

It sort of depends on the causes, though.

Since then, I have turned down anti-depressants in favor of psychotherapy.

Doing well, so far.

I bet you're still affected by a softly spoken kind word.

Don't let life scab over your feelings too thickly.

It is quite wont to do so.
