<p><strong><em>Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive Years</em></strong></p>



<p>The life of a criminal, personal injury, and civil rights lawyer involves so many facets. We have to keep up on our respective areas of the law which are dynamic and ever changing. We need to be there for our clients who are facing emotionally trying times. We also need to take breaks for self-care and restoration of our physical and mental health so we can be the rock folks need in trying times. I will be on Fourth of July vacation in North Carolina for the Fourth of July. I love my country and love the chance to celebrate it.</p>
