I was hired for a divorce case that had a few different issues, which my client and I faced one by one. Afterwards, he was so happy that he literally jumped up and clicked his heels as we left the court house.

I had a mentor who led me through a lot of circumstances and guided me along the way. He was one of the most successful attorneys in Akron who has since retired. He gave me excellent advice on matters that came up.

Communication and passion.

People in Akron know me. I went to high school or college with a lot of the people in the area. What information can you provide in a phone consultation? I always try to persuade people to come in to my offices so I can talk to them. I really like to sit down with my potential clients. The first 30 minutes is no charge.

I like to exchange contact information with my clients right away. The name, their address, and a way to contact them later. This way I can listen to them and then work towards resolving their questions.

Genealogy and fitness.
