I have been practicing law for over 30 years. My clients come to me because they trust me to handle what are often very serious matters. I've been told many times by them - in a completely unsolicited context - that they trust me. For me that is something that I've always been very proud of. I realize that often I am the only thing standing between them and a genuine  disaster. (And I say, over my dead body!). I've often been asked by other people, including lawyers, incredulously, "How'd you do that?" It's simple, I have always had a passion for the law and I've always been a student of it. I have always dedicated to gettting better.
