I've been practicing law for more than 15 years now, but it's a second career for me.  Before going to law school at night, I was working full time and trying to raise a young family.  That experience has shaped the way I approach my clients and the way that I practice law.  When you understand your client's situation and can see the case from their perspective, it helps you come up with solutions that others may not see.  Often, by being creative and looking at all of the issues, and not just the most obvious ones, I'm able to come up with creative solutions that actually save my clients money, time and aggravation.
