introduction
QUESTIONNAIRE
I went to trial on a felon in possession case where the lapel cam made by the Officer clearly showed that the Office was not telling the truth about the incident. During Voir Dire there was an ex police officer on the panel. He had long hair and a scruffy beard. Pegged him for a discontented ex-officer. Asked him during Voir Dire if in his experience "cops lie". Yes, he said. Used that response to educate the jury about officer untruthfulness. Got a not guilty verdict. I am a very good trial attorney and am good at picking a jury that is fair to my client!
How did you build a successful practice?I get referrals from happy clients. I work my cases, do all of the interviews in person, review the relevant law, am able to accurately evaluate a case and work for the most favorable resolution. I also do not ever speak unfavorably about other attorneys or give my clients false hope about their cases. They know what to expect when we go to Court.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?A lawyer who is honest about their case, who is passionate about protecting civil rights, who is able to educate a client about the law and the reality of the legal system and explain how the case will progress.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?Very important.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?In a free phone consultation, I can provide what the charges mean, the possible penalties, and potential defenses.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?I need the charges, some of the facts surrounding the case, and information about the opposing side.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?I am ethical, I fight for my clients and the best possible resolution and work so that the client does not come back into the legal system. Whether it is getting the client into treatment or just educating the client, I use my 26 years of experience and education.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?Client satisfaction is the most rewarding aspect.
What are your other interests in addition to law?I love reading, staying informed about politics, local issues.
Are you involved in your community?I am involved in the community as a member of the Board of Bridges to Success, an organization involved in facilitating housing and services for the homeless population.
