Philosophy
I chose to become a lawyer to help people.
Since I began to practice law in 1973, I have been dedicated to serving every client with
compassion, patience, empathy and understanding. My goal is to educate clients to allow
them to make informed decisions about the best course of legal action.
In estate planning, we discuss the differences between a Will and a Trust and what makes
the most sense for each individual’s needs. In a personal injury case, we explore the
opportunities to settle without a lawsuit yet leave open the path of litigation if it would truly
be most beneficial for the client. In probate matters, my staff and I work hard to move the
process quickly yet remain sensitive to the emotional trauma of the loss of a loved one.
Throughout my years as a lawyer, I have been guided by the principle that each person I
have the honor of serving is a fellow human being first, a client with a legal need second. I
do my best to allow my heart and mind to work together to find the best solution to every
problem.
I remain passionate about the practice of law. I am proud to be a lawyer with integrity. My
greatest joy is to make someone’s life a little better by having been of service.
