I practically had to have a map drawn to it because his firm is so large. I found out during my initiation tour that Connover and Crown employs thirty-eight lawyers and fifty-two staff persons. Its main practice areas are corporate and civil litigation, although there are also smaller practice areas like elder law, criminal law and the such. Apparently, Matt built the firm from the ground up, starting it just a mere ten years ago when he had graduated law school. Miss Anders hinted that Matt was the majority owner, and Bill was more or less an original investor, who was sort of just hanging on to a nominal amount of ownership interest at this point. Knocking, I hear him say, “Come in,” and I steel myself to just about anything. When I open the door, I see he’s still on the phone, but he waves me in and points to a chair across from him. I settle in and gaze around while he talks. I take in the understated elegance of his office decor. Browns, tans, and grays seem to be his color preference, and his taste in furniture leans toward the contemporary.
