Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I was successful in reducing a Client's appraised value of real estate for tax purposes from $2.2M to $700,000 resulting in a reduction in annual taxes of $35,000 per year.
How did you build a successful practice?
By providing sound advice and a reasonable price one Client at a time. I have worked hard to build trust and value. By building this trust, I have benefitted by referrals to Client's friends and families.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Competence, integrity, willingness to listen, ability to provide options, likeability, does the attorney "care" about their situation.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
I work in several counties and I have made friends EVERYWHERE. Knowing Judges, staff, administrators, and local Court Rules can be invaluable.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I don't provide legal advice over phone. I may try to discuss "what if" scenarios on phone and offer a free consult in person, but if someone isn't willing to invest in meeting with me, that person is not a good prospect for me to spend much time.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
There are many fine lawyers in my community. I work at being friendly, thorough, caring, and accessible. I also work hard at being involved with the Bar, local politics and professional organizations.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Seeing Clients get what they came to me to achieve….Helping a Client create a non-probate estate to transfer assets without problems or expense…Helping Clients build and protect hard-earned assets…helping Clients create plans to make their goals and objectives a reality.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
Politics, family
Are you involved in your community?
Republican Central Committee Member. Have served on Board of Non-profit.
