Why Vermont?
I have visited White River Junction three times this year: on the way to Burlington, on the way back, and as a trip of its own. I stayed at the Hotel Coolidge, where I also stayed the night after my honeymoon. This year’s return was both practical and personal.
There is a courthouse there, too. After a career in criminal defense, that is the sort of detail I notice. A town I know through travel is also a place where people work through serious questions every day.
I expect to return to Vermont roughly every month or two. I would like those visits to lead to conversations with people who know the state through their work.
What we could talk about
- Your role and the part of Vermont you work in.
- What makes the local criminal justice community distinctive.
- What has changed in your work, and what people outside the system misunderstand.
- Where our experience or interests overlap.
There is no presentation to prepare. I am interested in a useful introduction and a chance to listen.
A little about me
I’m Russell Matson, a former criminal defense attorney and law firm owner. My work now includes marketing and consulting for criminal defense firms, along with writing about law, technology, and New England. Running a practice taught me as much about people and organizations as it did about legal procedure.
I bring that experience to the conversation. You bring the Vermont perspective.
Let’s find a time
Send me your name, role, and a couple of times that work for you. We can arrange a brief Zoom conversation by email.
