The Law(yers) Of Standing Desks

Lawyers spend a lot of time at their desks and many of them have transitioned to desks they can sit, stand, or walk at to help keep their fitness level up, their brain active, and their law firms humming along.

Sitting and being sedintary for long periods of time has been shown to reduce motabilosm, blood flow, and mood. By standing from time to time, walking from time to time, and taking a healthier look at our time at work we can all greatly improve how we feel and how our bodies work at work.

Here are some great examples of standing desks used by lawyers all across the USA and quotes on what they love about their desks.

Karen Weinstock | Weinstock Immigration Lawyers

Sit-Stand Desk Converters

"We are a team of 11 women working closely together to assist all our clients in the best possible manner. We have been using a standing desk for the last year and a half and loving it! it helps with back problems, tiredness and even makes us feel more active due to not been sitting all day long."

~ Karen Weinstock

Karen Weinstock, came to the U.S. with two suitcases and a dream, facing many obstacles relocating to the U.S. Karen founded the firm because she believes that there are better and easier ways to bring immigrants into the U.S.

Andrew Legrand | Spera Law Group

DIY Standing Desk

"I built a standing desk a few years ago and absolutely love having the ability to stand up most of the time, and only sit when I need to. It's especially helpful when I'm working on a court filing or mailing that has to have documents printed, signed, edited, reprinted, etc. Rather than having to get up and down from a chair, it's so much easier to just walk around my office. I'm looking forward to upgrading my DIY model to a professional, motorized version within the next year or two."

James Goodnow | Lamber Goodnow

iMovR Office Treadmill Desk

"As lawyers and legal professionals, we live at our desks.  The problem, of course, is that being chained to your desk can be rough on the body -- and stifle creativity.  Before the treadmill desk, members of our team would take "walking meetings," where we would walk and talk.  In doing this, we discovered something surprising: we were happier, we had clearer thoughts, and we tended to come up with our most creative ideas while walking.  We wished we could have that level of productivity and health all day... With the treadmill desk, now we can."

"We outfitted it with dual monitors, a phone headset and room for iPads and laptops. Contrary to our concerns, we've found that we are actually more productive on the treadmill desk"

Peter Tanella & Deborah Greene | Mandelbaum Salsburg

Sit-Stand Desk Converter

"I started using it because I have severe arthritis and back issues and working while standing as opposed to sitting has really helped. There is a lot of medical evidence that use of standing desks improves your health and actually helps to burn calories and reduces your risk of certain conditions such as hypertension.  I actually find that it also helps to improve concentration and the elevation above your desk gives you more surface area on the desk itself."

J.R. Skrabanek | Snell Law Firm

Platform Desk

"The desk enhances my productivity by preventing distractions and helping me focus. Whereas with a traditional desk, if I felt uncomfortable, I was stuck in that position, now I can change my position with ease in just a few seconds. Once my position changes, it's easier for me to focus on the task at hand."

"My only complaint about the X-Elite is it isn't large enough to accommodate two monitors..."

~J.R. Skrabanek, Senior Counsel with the Snell Law Firm

Jeffery Robinette | Robinette Legal Group

Mahogany Standing Desk and Mat

"I used a traditional desk for my first 15 years of practice, and due to the sedentary nature of the practice of law, ended up gaining 40 pounds. In my quest to regain optimal health, I did some research into standup desks about ten years ago and found that Donald Rumsfeld, former US Secretary of State, used a standup desk, as did Thomas Jefferson before him."

"I lost the 40 pounds using a combination of tennis, smart food choices, and the use of the standup desk."
