“I lawyer like I would want to be lawyered. I have a strong desire to help people navigate through our complicated legal system. My goal is to help my clients obtain the best legal outcome possible for their individual situation.
A legal issue is stressful. I recognize and respect the emotional toll that dealing with a legal matter has on a person and their loved ones. While I love the pressure of the courtroom, I strive to keep that pressure off my client. That is my job.
Mediocrity is not okay. In or out of the courtroom, I strive for excellence. I know from experience that being more prepared helps accomplish my clients’ goals.”
