Mission

Litigation is intimidating and difficult to most individuals. My mission as a lawyer is to get my clients through the litigation process as smoothly and peacefully as possible, while steadfastly pursuing their goals and protecting their rights.

Approach

As a trial lawyer, my role is to be an advocate, ally, and trusted advisor. Being those things to a client in the course of lengthy litigation calls for unwavering commitment and mutual trust. I work hard to ensure that client loyalty and trust are maintained in every client relationship.

My goal is to provide clients with one of a kind legal services — meaning quality legal services, tailored to each client’s needs and circumstances, delivered in a straight-forward, user-friendly way.
