“Over the years, I have learned that clients appreciate direct, practical advice when it comes to problem solving. I take a hands-on approach to investigation and fact gathering, and I rely extensively on our talented group of young lawyers for targeted research when needed. I am proud of the reputation we have earned for being book and street smart – it makes a difference.”
