introduction
QUESTIONNAIRE
In the past year I represented a good friend of mine, as well as his wife and daughter, in a civil dispute arising from the daughter's fall off of the family's back deck. It was a tragic occurrence caused by the negligent work of a contractor who worked on my friend's home. Fortunately, his daughter should be alright but it does not erase what happened. I have been able to obtain a favorable settlement for the family and bring the matter to conclusion. The case has been a hard fought battle. Through it I learned more about the value of family and relationships, while at the same time being able to help out the family. Although the case was very difficult at times, I thank God for the opportunity to have been of service.
How did you build a successful practice?Learning to adapt to significant changes, in addition to hard work and discipline.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?Someone they can trust to make good decisions.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?It is significant. The venue of a case is a factor, and if it is ignored then it can be a costly mistake. Many judges have local rules that differ from the normal rules other lawyers and judges follow. Additionally, the demographic make-up of a lawyer's potential jury pool is something every lawyer should know before filing suit.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?Making a client happy with a result I have obtained for them.
What are your other interests in addition to law?Sports, music, and reading.
