As a practicing legal professional for 41 years, I had the privilege to sit at both ends of the judicial pulpit.  This more than four decades provided a unique opportunity to learn what made an excellent judge, and an excellent lawyer.   When I was a court judge, I thought that the most important ability of a lawyer is to select the relevant, most important information from others.  Judging a case requires mastery in revealing the truth even between opposing parties and you have to be just in order the parties accept your decision.

While an excellent judge must be impartial, an excellent lawyer may not allow himself this luxury.  Effective representation requires taking a solid stand for the benefit of the client, be an individual, a business association, or a community.  An outstanding lawyer shoots the analyzed and legally relevant facts just at the right moment to achieve success for his client.

I had the opportunity to work for several law firms, including domestic and international ones, in Hungary and the United States.  It was curious to experience the definite mark different cultures leave on the view of lawyers in society.  In certain cultures, the lawyer is considered an esquire, the master of knowledge, and stands as the subject of the clients’ trembling admiration.  In others, the lawyer is a tiny almost insignificant factor of the giant impersonal judicial machinery – a well-paid service provider. 

My vision is to be an effective legal service provider who at times can be a good friend, a supporter.  I am convinced that a great client-lawyer relationship is similar to the one of a patient-doctor’s; mutual trust is the key to success.

After serving as one of the founding partners of Hogan & Hartson, Budapest office for more than a decade, I made a step forward and established Pintér Aurél Law Office.  The inevitable question arose again – what makes an outstanding law office?
