Philosophy
"The practice of law is more than forms, filings, and fees. It is creating that unique relationship with the client to maximize the value of their business. This is best accomplished by developing a partnership that understands the client’s needs, anticipates problems and roadblocks before they occur, addresses opportunities head on, and provides zealous and ethical representation. My philosophy is based on nearly twenty years of working in business and industry before becoming a lawyer. In short, I have been on the client’s side of the desk. I understand the business world, the harshness of deadlines and budgets, and the daily effort it takes to become and remain successful.
