I believe in direct communication and cooperation between the lawyer and client. A lawyer can’t be helpful if he or she talks at you or around you. So I'll ask lots of questions, I'll really listen to your answers, I’ll give you straight answers to your questions, and, together, we will craft an approach that gives us the best chance at achieving your goals. At every step in the process, we’ll watch for opportunities to settle issues. Bear in mind, however, that well prepared litigation is sometimes needed to create the environment for settlement..
