Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

In 2014-2015 I represented a young woman who was raped by a sheriff's deputy in his squad car during a jail transport. We were able to gather evidence relevant to show knowledge by the defendant's of similar prior conduct. The case was resolved in Federal Court.

Someone they can trust first and foremost. I strive to provide my client's with personal attention. I want them to feel that if they ever need me they can email or call and I will respond asap.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Knowing a little about the jurisdiction is certainty important in all cases. It is helpful to the cases to know the judge's character and disposition. It is also helpful to fully understand local court rules in all jurisdictions were cases are being litigated.

Normally I am able to tell the client what I can do for them and how my services will be helpful to them. I can also give them a rough idea of what my services will cost.

I need the client to tell me everything they know about their case from the beginning and what their expectations are.

What are your other interests in addition to law?
