00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:04.130
>> My name is Charlene Hunter and
I'm an attorney, a fairly new one.

00:00:04.130 --> 00:00:11.460
I graduated from DU in May of 2009 and I
have my own solo practice here in Denver.

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:16.330
I practice family law, landlord/tenant
and HOA issues.

00:00:16.330 --> 00:00:22.850
I do some non-trust estates or not, what I
call non-tax estates, a simpler estate planning

00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:26.160
for people and some small
business and non-profit.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:31.580
My previous business background is in
business and non-profit so I do a bit of that.

00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:34.380
When you have your solo practice
I, I actually work totally alone.

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:37.250
I, I don't have an assistant
just yet though I'm on the verge

00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:39.960
of that but, I, it means I do everything.

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.640
So a day could be coming in and meeting with
clients, could be spending a lot of time

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.780
on the phone, very often it's going into court.

00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:54.280
That's been 2 or 3 times this week and
that court could be anywhere from Denver

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.730
to north Adams County and Brighton
down to Douglas County and Castle Rock.

00:00:58.730 --> 00:01:02.770
It could be all over the place.

00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:06.760
And, and then there's a lot of writing
and documentation in doing that.

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:12.050
So no day is ever exactly like another day.

00:01:12.050 --> 00:01:20.120
I, you know, this is my third career and
I'm a mom of 3 kids so if I'm not doing kind

00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.220
of 2 things at once I feel like
I'm not, I'm standing still.

00:01:24.220 --> 00:01:28.310
So, yes, I think anybody else
would think it was hectic.

00:01:28.310 --> 00:01:34.260
I think it's just kind of pleasantly
full but, yeah, I, I'm never board.

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:36.290
I am never board [inaudible].
