To whom it may concern,
I started law school in 1987, learning everything I could about criminal law from some of Germany’s top legal experts. I was young, for sure, but there was a great fire burning inside of me. In 2001 I graduated and then BANG, it was time to play.
In this moment I was great friends with a professor of mine, and he invited me to join his law firm, 05 Law in Mainz. It was a good job, but not heavy metal enough for me. I wanted something crazy, you know?
Then I joined BVB Legal Services and wow, it was big. Huge. Exceptional. The law firm was incredible. I was able to assist with some top top cases, including two case in 2011 and 2012. I was defending a client against some Bavarian prosecutors. Their record was impeccable, for sure, but I toppled them. I almost won a class action lawsuit involving defendants from across Europe, but evidence from those Bavarian prosecutors blew up our case at the last hurdle.
It wasn’t long before I was asked to join Fenway & Werner Law as a Senior Partner. The firm was not doing well, for sure, but it used to be so great. Huge, even. So I joined them and helped bring them back to greatness with the help of a big budget.
The firm is now the greatest in the world, for sure. Of course, we have not won a case yet, but that has no consequence. The courtrooms we have worked in have been a bit drafty, so there was no way of determining if the adjudication process was fair. But my lawyers are happy, and I give them massive hugs, even if we lose. It’s fantastic, but we must focus on winning, for sure.
In this moment life is great but perhaps I need a change of scenery. I miss winning, for sure, and with the current conditions at Fenway & Werner it is not a possibility. If you want me, a heavy metal lawyer, please feel free to contact me at itwaswindy@klopplaw.com.
Regards,
Jurgen Klopp
