Ind. Law - Two family law firms in Muncie featured

The Muncie Star-Press today has two stories by Nick Werner featuring local family law practices.

The story "Law is family business for the Quirks" begins:

The downtown law firm of Quirk, Rivers and Hunter presents a misleading, or at least understated, name. More realistically, the firm should be called Quirk, Quirk, Quirk, Quirk, Quirk, Rivers and Hunter.

Jack Quirk, who opened the business 25 years ago with his partner Geoff Rivers, has since taken on daughters, Teresa and Ana, sons, John and Michael, and son-in-law Joe Hunter.

"I don't think I'd want to practice law without having my family around," Ana Quirk said.

Jack's wife, Linda, also works in the office, taking care of billing for the law firm. Another daughter, Megan, starts law school April 23.

The second story, "Three Dunnucks share law practice" begins:
Like the Quirks, the Dunnuck family has produced a small team of attorneys. Donald Dunnuck works with his son, Jake, and daughter, Amanda, at Dunnuck and Associates on Walnut Street.

Donald credits an emphasis on education and fatherly involvement for raising children who followed in his career path. "If you're going to emulate someone, it's often you're father," he said.

Donald's three other children, however, work in other fields, and Donald jokingly referred to them as the sensible ones.
