I practice what some lawyers call "client law." I value my strong, long-term relationships with my clients and always appreciate any opportunity to thank the many clients I have served since I started practicing law some 28 years ago. This website offers a golden opportunity to do so again.
Any success I have enjoyed has been the direct result of your confidence and trust in me. I have tried to repay you by developing a practice which is about you, the client, not about me, the lawyer. It may sound odd in the age of fifteen minutes of fame, but public recognition means little compared with the sense of accomplishment that comes from helping another human being through a difficult time. You have allowed me to experience that sense of accomplishment many times over. You have made the practice of law such a joy for me that I cannot imagine any work I would rather do. Thank you.
I would also like to thank you who have shown your confidence in me by referring your friends, families and co-workers to my office for their legal needs. I have found over the years that people who refer others tend to be individuals of the highest caliber. This is not surprising, since good people tend to speak well of others when a legitimate opportunity to do so presents itself, and experience has confirmed my late mother's advice to avoid those who speak ill of others. And so, it has been my pleasure to return the favor quite often, referring my clients to people in other fields. I would be remiss if I did not also say those words to you who think highly enough of me to recommend my services to others. Thank you.
And of course, there is another useful purpose I can accomplish here – to answer questions that a new or potential client might naturally ask. The material on the following pages is designed to provide the information I would want before I hired a lawyer.
The ATTORNEY PROFILE page shows some of what I have done, but the best way to describe my work is in terms of my clients. I go where my clients need me to go to protect their business and their property, large or small, and I can often help keep small problems from getting out of control.
It would be impossible to stay plugged into all the details of commercial and property law while dabbling in personal injury, malpractice, workers comp, elder rights, divorce and so on. But if you have a problem in an area of the law I do not handle, I can usually find someone excellent to help you.
