My clients are not numbers.  They have a name, they have a face, they have a family, and they have a life.  I don't forget that.  I like being able to talk to my clients when they call.  I haven't, and won't, hire another attorney because I don't want to lose the personal aspect of the business.  This often means working on weekends and foregoing vacations, but it is worth it to me.. I get up at 5:00 a.m. to get in my first workout of the day with a six mile run, long walk, or a few sets of tennis before going to work.  During my workouts, I spend time thinking about my cases.  You can make some great decisions and come up with some great ideas while working out.  I'll get a good hour of work done before I even come into the office.  A lot of strategic decisions are made during that sweaty, brainstorming hour!  I like to finish the day with another workout to use as a de-stressor and to clear my head.. If you would like to read about my background or read additional client testimonials, please visit my website, .  I am truly thankful to have had the fortune to work with wonderful clients over the years.  If you feel I can be of help to you in your case, please do not hesitate to call my office at.  I look forward to working with you.
