The ABA Journal, in its November 2004 issue, tells how Houston attorney W. Mark Lanier solved his problems when he had a trial in a small city and the accomodations weren’t sufficient for lodging and trial prep: He bought an RV. “[His] ‘trialmobile’ [one word] is a 38-foot Fleetwood Excursion with slide-out office that seats eight, a bedroom, satellite TV and Internet service, washer/dryer, full kitchen and bathroom.”
It really works for him: “Without it, a small town could be exceedingly tough for working. With it, it becomes an adventure.”
Lanier, among his other credits, has been named by The American Lawyer magazine as one of the top 45 attorneys in the nation under the age of 45. He has also been named as a "Texas Super Lawyer" in 2003 and 2004 based on nominations from other attorneys who were asked to identify the top lawyers in Texas. You can see an article from the March 2004 issue of The American Lawyer that details some of Lanier's “war stories” and describes what the article calls his “trial mobile.” [Two words in this article.]
