I am fortunate to have long relationships with many of our clients. It is impossible to have those relationships without being responsive to each client’s particular needs and – most important – without obtaining successful results. I enjoy handling tough cases, but I also know that costly discovery and courtroom battles are not always the most effective nor efficient options. This is why I explore unique and creative alternatives for accomplishing the client’s objectives.
