“The greatest reward is helping my clients arrive at the best possible solution, given the circumstances. Traditional views of winning and losing are not as important as resolving every issue in a beneficial, positive manner. I want my clients to complete each transaction, each negotiation, each dispute with a feeling that the result has served them well.”

Years ago, at the peak of my career, I lost my hearing ( don't worry, I've got it back) and just gave up.  I abandoned my practice and suffered the consequences.Thanks to technology, I can hear again.  I was re-admitted to the profession which I love whole heartedly.. I think my tribulations have made me both a better lawyer and a better person.   When I lost my hearing, I thought my professional life was over.Individuals facing criminal charges may well feel the same sense of hopelessness and despair.  I'm living proof that one misfortunate event need not define your life, nor determine your future.If you have a legal issue, a problem or a question, please call me.  You'll find support, hope; and a frank, honest and caring advocate.
