Growing up I watched the OJ Simpson trial on TV every day after school with my grandmother. Glued to the television watching history unfold was my first introduction to the legal world and I was hooked. When I was a young adult, I hired a lawyer who did not do a very good job. My lawyer promised that he would “die on the battlefield for me,” and I wrote him a check on the spot believing I was in good hands. The reality was I could never get ahold of my attorney, calling for months without a returned phone call, even driving to his office to be told he was too busy to see me. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see my attorney listening to his receptionist speak with me. Although it was a small matter, it was important to me and I was sorely disappointed with how I was treated. After my experience, I make it my goal to ensure every one of my clients gets the care, respect, and attention they deserve.. If you choose to work with me as your attorney, you can expect to work directly with me and only me.
