A few years ago while I was articling in a boutique law firm in downtown Toronto, one day I heard loud voices coming from my principal office. I assumed that my principal was having clients as his doors to the office were closed and I could not tell who was there. Later on and to my surprise, I discovered that my principal was using a software called Skype on his computer and there was no one at his office. He was speaking on a conference call to his relatives overseas using a good set of speakers and a microphone. What amazed me was how clear I could hear their voices which led me to believe that someone was there at that time. That is how I got introduced to Skype. I immediately liked it and decided to start using it. Skype is my number one tool to communicate with family, friends and clients online. In my website, under contact page I have a direct link to call me on Skype and often I receive calls from people using this link. I can recall doing a real estate transaction for one of my clients that lives overseas and wanted to sell his property here in Toronto. Most of my conversations with him were on Skype and my communications with him were much simpler which led to an easy real estate closing. I could also tell that he was quite happy using this software and find it to be an interesting way to communicate with me. Funny but even today when people pass my office while I am on Skype they think that someone is in my office but to discover that they were wrong. You are probably asking yourself, hey is this guy trying to promote Skype, so my answer to you not necessarily but to show how technology these days can change the way a law practice can run. Gone are the days when faxes, emails and telephone calls were the only way to communicate with Clients. With a bit of creativity and some knowledge you can find a good software that can help your business to progress. It also makes practising law much more fun. So go ahead visit my website and call me on Skype.

Introduction
Finally after lots of thought and encouragement from family, friends and clients, I've decided to start a blog. I've put numerous hours of thought into what I wanted the content of this blog to be. Should it be just about various topics of law? Or perhaps any other topic or topics that will be of interest to my visitors to read. I've decided that my blog should be about myself and my life experience with the field of law. I want this blog to let my visitors increase their legal knowledge and hopefully some source of information. In a way I also consider this blog to be a learning experience for me. Every few weeks I will add a new topic for my visitors to read. Feel free to get in touch with me, will be nice to hear from you.
