Paul Adkins

my personal value proposition

“The most valuable service I provide to the client is to focus on the client’s objective and then look for efficient and creative ways to accomplish those goals. You cannot do that without listening to the client and getting to know that client and his business. That means not just focusing on a particular legal matter, but the impact that matter has, or may have, on the client’s business.”
