To his family, his nickname as a boy was Sonny. To his editors and friends, he was always Jerry. All these variations of a single name are epithets, or special nicknames that go with or replace a name.

Are you in need of a Houston law blog editor? Look no further! I have always loved the legal field and was a member of the Pre-Law Society at Blinn College back in the day. I attended the Southwestern Paralegal Institute in the 1980s and had my hopes set on law school…but that was not in the cards. The tuition was too pricey! However, I have put my legal training to good use by editing books for lawyer authors (including one in Austin) and blogging for law firms and sole practitioners.
