Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
Last year I represented a couple who were seeking to obtain a guardianship of their grandson. The mother was their daughter, and the father was her former boyfriend. Neither offered any stability as parents. My clients were very anxious to protect their grandson's safety and future by establishing themselves as guardian so that he could live in a stable home where his school attendance and health would be properly looked after.
How did you build a successful practice?
I do my best for all my clients as I rely on good word of mouth to obtain new clients.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should look for a lawyer who will represent them in fact rather than who claim to do so but in fact pass court appearances off on an associate that the client has never met or, worse, a contract attorney who has no prior experience with the client's case.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Judges are people and like any set of people their have their particular likes and dislikes. A lawyer who is a familiar figure in a particular court is less likely to irritate a judge gratuitously by engaging in behavior that judge dislikes.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I like a potential client to describe the facts in their own words. I will then do my best to assess whether there is anything I can do for him or her in the way of legal services, and if I believe there is, the next step will be to schedule an in-person meeting and for the potential client to bring important documents with him or her so that I may give an opinion thereon and we can make a mutual decision as to whether we should proceed to actually representing him or her in their case.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
The client's name; what is the basic nature of the case, that is, what is it about; the names of the other parties. That is the minimum information I should think.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
I have a broad life experience before I became a lawyer that included military service and work as a public school teacher.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Being thanked by clients for a job well done on their case.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
Hiking, backpacking, mountain climbing, kayaking, running.
Are you involved in your community?
I have participated in several 9-to99 clean ups in the Modesto area. I have participated in several camping site clean ups in Yosemite National Park. I donate blood and platelets regularly.
