Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I can comfortably say that I have made a difference in virtually case or problem I take on through dedication, compassion, hard work, and determination to treat all clients with a holistic approach, which means I do not attempt to solve only the immediate problem in front of me, but set them up for long term success in life.
How did you build a successful practice?
A successful practice isn't built overnight; like anything else it requires effort and energy...nothing comes easy. It also doesn't hurt if you have natural talent and intelligence.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Analytical and creative thinking, compassion, and the ability and desire to put in the hard work.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
It depends on the particular case. On what some might refer to as smaller matters, it could make a difference, but in high stakes litigation, I do not believe local practice has much to necessarily do with the outcome, assuming the players involved are honest.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
An assessment of a potential client's immediate needs, a rough plan on how their goal can be accomplished or what additional information might be needed to best assess or analyze the problem, as well as a estimate of the cost of legal representation. It will vary based on the complexity and nuances involved in the matter.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
When I take on representation I like to learn as much as I possible can about my client's and the scenario so I can best advise them, but during an initial consultation I usually only need the basics.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
Dedication, availability, experience, communication, and a track record of positive results.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Helping people who need help the most.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
My interests are diverse, but frankly, I work too much.
Are you involved in your community?
In addition to helping clients on a daily basis, I do my best to help others in the community who need assistance in various ways.
