I've been practicing law for nearly thirty years now. A lot has changed; one thing hasn't: Practicing law, done right, still means helping people. I've always found that the best way to help is to first listen. That's why I give my personal phone number and email address up front. When you call or email, you get me, personally, every time -- never a staff person. That way, I always hear, first-hand, what you have to say. If you're reading this, you're probably in need of legal help. Contact me. Let me hear your story. We'll discuss your matter fully, and I'll absolutely help you, if I can.
