introduction
QUESTIONNAIRE
I wouldn't say I had just one or two cases in the past year where I made a big difference. In each of the hundreds of family law cases I have handled, I believe I have made a difference. Each issue, regardless of how small it may appear to others, can be very important to the party I represent. Support, custody and visitation issues are critical, as are property evaluation and and division.
How did you build a successful practice?I treat each case as if I was representing my family, allowing me to build a reputation in the legal community as competent, fair and knowledgable.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?Clients should look for Knowledge, Experience and Reputation.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?Local knowledge of court practices and the judicial officers is critical to successfully representing a client.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?I attempt to answer all of a client's questions, as well as provide an overview of what will likely happen on issues related to a client's case at our free initial consultation. This allows the client to make intelligent decisions as to how to proceed, including who to retain, or whether an attorney is needed at all.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?I need basic information on the case, if by phone. We have intake forms for in person consultations. This provides a basis to ask the questions needed to provide advice to a prospective client.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?Knowledge, Experience and Reputation. Having 36 years in practice as a trial attorney, I am confident I can provide quality legal services as to cases on which I am retained, and to do so at a fair and reasonable price.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?Over the years, I believe by handling many cases competently, I know I have given my clients the best advice possible on their legal matter, especially family law cases which, ultimately, provide a better framework for families in the community.
What are your other interests in addition to law?Motorcycle racing, tennis, as hobbies. Being with family as an every day occurrence.
Are you involved in your community?As my children are now grown, my community involvement with sports boards and coaching has ended, but my continued support of local community organizations such as Rotary, Elks, etc. continues financially.
