I like helping people solve problems that they can't solve themselves. Most of my cases involve business disputes, property damage from fires or floods, or personal injuries. That means that emotions are usually running high by the time I first meet with the client.  I spend a lot of time up-front with my clients to understand their problem and how they want to resolve it.  Clients need to know that cases usually take 1-2 years to bring to a head, and that isn't cheap. They also need to know, though, that their lawyer will take on their problem as if it were her own problem--and represent them as if they were her own family.  Even though a lot of my clients are from large companies, they still need to know that I have the skills and the dedication to help them resolve their legal problem as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I have always been pasionate about helping each of my clients obtain the best results possible, regardless of the size of the claim.  We do not settle for inagequate amounts or outcomes & always put our client interests first & foremost.     I have reprenented the Overland Christian Church pro bono for over 30 years. I am always ready to listen to your issue & provide the best advice available.

How does one combat this rating, but to ask you to keep an open mind. Regardless of my rating, I believe you will be well served by my representation. Primarily I represent clients in Legal Malpractice cases, suits against other lawyers. It has its own set of problems for those who pursue this area of the law. It is in part the reason my disciplinary record. While the warnings on this site may be crippling, I know my transgressions were not based on a lack of integrity or honesty. I made some mistakes, but no client has been finacially or personally harmed by my conduct. As for my professional conduct overall, I practice with integrity and honesty, I am a well experienced lawyer, and I listen and I act.
