I founded my law firm with a simple belief: “every case is winnable.” That, and taking words of his mentor to heart: “Don’t tell me how we can lose, that’s the other side’s job. Tell me ways we can win.” Armed with this knowledge, I take on a myriad of cases that most other lawyers would deem unwinnable, expecting every member of my staff to adopt this “can win” attitude.
