How I Serve Clients

I believe that thoroughly communicating about a client’s goals, understanding the “big picture,” and paying careful attention to details are vital to resolving disputes, whether that resolution takes place before engaging with the judicial process or in a courtroom. In serving our clients, I utilize my experience litigating in a variety of legal areas and passion for solving problems to help the client identify the best strategy moving forward. Ultimately, my goal is to achieve my client’s optimal outcome in the context of the client’s broader objectives.
