I enjoy working with businesses and business owners, not only because they often have unique problems that require creative solutions, but because many successful ones are passionate about what they do, and that passion is often contagious.  Being outside counsel to many different kinds of businesses has given me a great perspective on what works, what doesn't, and where the future of our economy and our country is headed.  The fact that these same daring entrepreneurs value and appreciate our counsel and advice just makes the opportunity to assist them that much more rewarding.
