I pride myself on knowing the name and story of every single client I represent. I believe it's important for a lawyer to talk with their clients often and directly.  My clients are not passed off to an assistant but instead are always able to reach me.  This is important because it's my job to understand every aspect of the issue the client hired me to resolve.  By creating a strong and thorough relationship between my clients and myself, I am able to put forth a very strong and persuasive case for my clients.
