I have been a licensed attorney since 1991, and have experience primarily in the areas of family law, personal injury and real estate.. I grew up in a single wage-earner household. When I was a middle teenager, my father suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, and with his death, my family’s means of support suddenly evaporated.. I had to work several jobs at a time not only to help with family finances, but also to save for my own education. I developed a plan and it ultimately paid off – I paid my own way through college and law school.. I credit my hard work more decades ago for my continued career success. Just as I had to work hard and develop a strategy to become a lawyer, I put the same planning and work to develop winning strategies for my many happy clients who return to me when a new legal challenge confronts them.. If I am privileged to earn your business, I will work tirelessly to achieve your goals, and won't rest until I do!
