A client was going to be swindled out of half of her home by a partner. The first lawyers she talked to alarmed her by calling the other attorney and talking "" deal"" as if she should make a deal. She retained me and the Judge ordered the other party out of the house by 4 P.M. that evening A client recovered from a retail establishment for a slip and fall during a snow event. Two clients recovered in a premises case for damages incident to a critter problem A client was successfully defended from allegations of embezzlement and misappropriation.

I was trained to defend negligence and so represented many clients both individuals and businesses>i was also a Panel defender in the Federal Court, and I'm a full real estate broker and know Landlord tenant law as a matter of my own interests, very well. We embrace technology which aids in communications with the client and the professional and insuring parties who compensate our clients for harm

Good direct communications and mutual loyalty builds the bond of trust and confidence, and, of courses a track record of ability to perform in any court at any level, including appeals

Local knowledge is very helpful, but the locals who oppose you can be managed well with legal knowledge and awareness of how to build a record that protects client rights against " local" outcomes

I love to get an email, as the client will take a moment to organize the facts, and I can respond in writing, so they can read what I say as often as they need to. I can envelope a plan with them, and if we agree to further services, the client will know what the agreement is. Text is also helpful, and I love when clients remember to take pictures at the scent of the accident and of their injuries, and send them to me right away.

We have the technology now where people can commonly send me the accident report or their lease, or any other document or photograph by text or email. Pictures and documents really do save a thousand words.

My long reliance on technology has made me a very direct communicator. Mostly, they talk to me, and don't feel like they are being moved to someone who can't really help them

Getting people compensated for their injuries really repairs an injury in their life and restores them to full activity and their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, unimpaired by what others have done or caused

I'm an active Real Estate Broker. Real estate is the foundation of the wealth of the American middle class. I want my clients to have a a checking account, have a credit card, have credit, have a home for their families, own their home, and be secure in it all. To me, helping my clients prosper means making sure they have property

I have published numerous Op/Ed pieces in publications locally. have taught many sections of legal seminars for fell attorneys, I'm a cantor at my place of Worship, and I'm definitely a person people turn to when they need help in a very private way. I'm not known only as a criminal defense lawyer, nor only as an injury lawyer. And I'm known as a fully licensed broker too. So, there's no assumption that goes with my representation, It carries with it an image of innocence and legitimacy and maybe just something has harmless as, perhaps, real estate representation legal or merely for a transaction.
