Personal Insights and Philosophy

How Have You Changed in the Last Two Decades?

Caravasos: I think most of my colleagues would say I haven’t changed. I do it my way, like Frank Sinatra, and I really don’t care what anybody thinks. I feel that I’ve become more unapologetic about being that way.

What Have Been Your Greatest Lessons Along the Way?

Caravasos: As a younger lawyer, I would get involved in cases where there were multiple attorneys representing the same client. I learned pretty quickly that this group mentality approach to a case is not for me. There are too many cooks in the kitchen, so now I’ve learned to operate my own kitchen: I’m going to run it the way I want to, and if you don’t like it, eat at another restaurant.
