And it's really what we do, whether you're a corporate transactional litigation, everything in between, ultimately you're helping people, companies, et cetera.

And really for me, what resonated was that first case that I mentioned where I walked into probate court, had been mostly doing general civil litigation, financial services litigation.

And when I walked into probate court, I grew up in a small town in rural Wisconsin, very agricultural, very blue collar, 1,100 people strong when I left.

And I think it's 1,400 people strong now, so it's still not very large.

Coming from that environment where people knew each other and you knew who you could rely on, you knew who you couldn't.

I walked into Probate Court that first day and it had that small town feeling.

And coming from a town of 1,100 and being in a metropolis of 10 million people, I was always looking for a way to make the universe smaller and closer and more human.

And that was my experience in probate court from that first day.

Okay.

So I'm Judge Jason Cox, the judge of Harris County Probate Court No. 3.
