I pride myself on taking a realistic, analytical approach to every case and working relentlessly to find a solution to every problem. My clients have consistently praised my ability to communicate complicated legal issues in a way that is clear, effective, and takes into account their needs and objectives relating to the case. Although I very much enjoy the research and writing aspects of legal work, the primary reason I wanted to be an attorney was to make the legal world more accessible and less convoluted. I strive to ensure my clients feel informed, understood, respected, and supported throughout every step of the process.
