Lidia handles business disputes, and she would rather end one with a letter than a trial.

Lidia away from the firm
Lidia learned Slovak from her grandmother in Greenfield, and still uses it with a few clients whose families did the same.
She rows on the Allegheny early on weekday mornings, which she says is the best preparation for a deposition.
