About:

When I began practicing law, I committed myself to providing a superior level of legal service to my clients. I appreciate my clients and get to know them while I handle their legal matter. Because I care about my clients, I want them to understand the legal system and the choices open to them, and I want them to make the final decision regarding whether to settle or proceed to trial. I plan to practice law for a long time, and I value the referrals that my current and former clients send to me. They feel comfortable referring family and friends to me because they know I will treat them well. Frequently, clients thank me for all of the time and support I provided to them during their case.
