My Pledge
My client is the center of my law practice; without our client, we would not exist. I strive to build a lasting relationship with each client based on trust and understanding, as these foundational qualities can lead to success. Each engagement is viewed as an opportunity to meet this pledge.
Our client receives logical and critical problem solving advice tailored to their personal goals. To achieve our client’s goals, we communicate respectfully, objectively, and practically.

We believe that a personal, yet professional, relationship between attorney and client is essential to effectively pursue our client’s goals. Therefore, I personally conduct the initial consultation with the new prospective clients. Our client leaves with tangible value upon which to make decisions as they move forward.
