Bracewell’s Steve Benesh recently sat down with The Texas Lawbook to discuss his time as state bar president and the issues he’s seeing in the legal practice. Benesh also reflected on his career as a whole and what makes him appreciate the practice of law.
“I have been so blessed. It’s been a great career. One of the reasons, as I began halfway through college, thinking about, well, maybe I do want to be a lawyer after all, as I thought to myself, my dad has all these great stories that he comes home with to tell around the dinner table,” he said. “He loves what he does. He has happy clients who will stop by and drop off pies or turkeys or whatever on the holidays, and he’s never gotten bored with it. And there aren’t many careers where all of those things are true, and it has been true for me.”
“The firm, Bracewell, has been incredible, particularly while I’ve been so busy driving everywhere over the last few years. They have been incredible in supporting me, and they have been with me every step of the way,” Benesh added. “It’s never gotten old, and it’s one of the reasons I think one of our sons went into it, is that he saw how much I have enjoyed doing it.”
