I became an attorney after 20 years as a successful business person because i wanted a new career that added the personal satisfaction of helping others.  i believe it is most important to combine practical business experience with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the law.  The goal is always to obtrain the best possible result for the client.  This goes way beyond the basic concepts of "winning" and "losing."  The best outcome must account for the client's legal rights, along with his or her financial, and emotional needs.
