How did you build a successful practice?

I listen carefully to my client's needs and provide sound ethical and practical business advice, based on 30+ years of experience, not just legal advice.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Sound business as well as legal judgment, expertise based on years of real-world experience, and reasonable fees.
