After graduating from Harvard, my work in large law firms felt removed from the actual client and their problem.  I started my own practice so I could work with real people who need legal services, instead of huge corporations where the lawsuit impacts few actual people.  I find my work now to be very rewarding and fulfilling, and have met numerous clients who are now good friends.  I look forward to meeting you and, hopefully, helping you solve a legal problem.
