Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I made a big difference recently in a child custody case in which the parents were so angry they were refusing any sort of discussion with each other. Both sides hired attorneys. Opposing counsel and I sat down and calmly walked through a proposed custody agreement which worked well for everyone. We settled this one very quickly. The parents had no real dispute over what each needed; all they needed was cool heads to reason together. Another case was a consumer debt dispute in which my client, the debtor, was absolutely convinced that he did not owe the money claimed. With some investigation, I was able to show him that the creditor was correct and that he did owe the money claimed. This was a matter of just listening, gathering information, and having a civil conversation. We worked out a very favorable settlement.
How did you build a successful practice?
I have built a successful practice by listening to what clients hope to accomplish, giving the best advice I can, and working to get the most favorable outcome I can for my clients.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should look for a lawyer who will understand their problems and what they hope to accomplish, and will be realistic about their chances for success.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Local knowledge is important to success of the case.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I provide a free telephone consultation. The purpose of such a consultation is to determine whether I am the right lawyer for the client, as well as whether I want to take on the case. The information I would want to provide to the client includes cost as best I can estimate, timeframe as best I can estimate, my best estimate of chances of success, and what hurdles we might encounter.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
In a free telephone consultation I need to gain an understanding of the nature and history of the case, client's objectives, related case numbers, what client knows about what opposing party wants, any client's ability to pay the costs.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
Clients' interests come first. I try to be as accessible as I can. I try to keep legal fees reasonable.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
The most rewarding aspect of my work is solving what are often very difficult, emotional problems for clients.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
My main outside interests are distance running and chess.
Are you involved in your community?
My wife and I are heavily involved in our community.
