With the election, I'm starting to feel uneasy about what the atmosphere in our city might be like today and this week. In previous years, Houston has seen its fair share of tension during major political events. Does anyone else share these concerns? How are you planning to handle Election Day—sticking to your usual routine, or taking precautions? Are there any community safety measures being discussed?

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in.
