How did you build a successful practice?
I built a successful practice through hard work and dedication. I do my best to make each client feel as if their case is the most important case in my office. I maintain an open line of communication and am easily accessible to my clients.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should look for a knowledgeable attorney who has a passion for the area in which they practice. Clients should look for an attorney with whom they feel comfortable talking to, as the attorney-client relationship could last years. It is also important that you find an attorney that you respect and trust because this is the person who will be your voice in the legal arena.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Local knowledge is important to the success of your case, because knowing judge’s quirks, opposing counsel’s approach, and the jury pool’s general mindset can be invaluable inside information that helps guide the progression of a case, and gives an attorney the ability to foresee problems as well as solutions as a case develops.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
During a free phone consultation, I can provide my general analysis of the applicable laws as they apply to the facts of a potential case, and outline what I believe to be the next steps to take as the law requires.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
What differentiates me from other employment law attorneys in my community is the fact that I was once a plaintiff in a discrimination case before I was an attorney. I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of discriminatory intent, and therefore can truly empathize with my clients.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
The most rewarding aspect of my job is helping clients move forward with their lives after the devastating loss of a job or the emotional turmoil caused by the discriminatory actions of an employer.
