MY PHILOSOPHY
I think what makes the practice of law exciting is the feeling you get when you are able to resolve a problem for someone. I try to approach cases by first figuring out what the truly big problems are first. This often gives better perspective when we reach the less important things later on.
When someone is dealing with a crisis, whether it be a work injury, an auto accident, or an unexpected death in the family, I always make an effort to eliminate as many frustrations as possible. Most people don’t think of compassion and dignity when hiring a lawyer – but they should.
