They are both attorneys whose field is construction litigation. In other words, they sue builders and contractors for shoddy work. It takes a certain amount of confidence to work for them, but they love me and they're really cool. It's an absolutely booming field they work in, what they used to call "a blue sky opportunity"......
It's like the guy is a builder, he's a very "hands on" type and both of them know construction backwards and forwards. We have common friends from back in the punk rock/club days and he went to USC w/ people I know. Also, FWIW, they found a house that they want to buy but are passing on it because they would have to sell this one. He told me that he is never selling another piece of RE. He still owns the houses that they lived in before this one, they're all rented out. It's fun to be around people that are business/$$ smart, because I am so the opposite.
