How I Serve Clients
As a litigator, I take pride in accomplishing our clients’ goals in court, as efficiently as possible. Working with clients whose businesses increase the “size of the pie” for our society as a whole, however, is what I find most fulfilling. Not every legal problem is a “win-lose” contest, and a really good day is when we can find those elusive “win-win” situations.
