OUR VISION
I established my firm in 2000 with the goal of providing excellence and value in the practice of law. With a wide breadth of experience gained in many diverse and specialized areas of the law since starting my career in 1986, I believe I can offer something that most sole practitioners and small firms cannot. I have structured my practice to enable me to give undivided personal attention to each and every client of the firm and to provide value in the fee I charge for my services. If we establish an attorney-client relationship, you can be assured that I, and no one else, will personally handle your matter and that you will receive the singular focus and dedication to your interests that I have provided all my clients for over 35 years. If you think I can help you, send me an email or call my office. If I cannot help you personally, chances are that I can direct you to a trusted colleague who can.
