I listen.  I call you back and make every effort to do so the same day.. Reliability and responsiveness are the tenets of my law practice.  If you’ve ever hired a lawyer, how many times did you find yourself waiting by the phone for that lawyer to call you back with an answer to a seemingly simple question?  A failure to communicate is too often associated with today’s legal profession.. Not in my office.. I am reliable and responsive because I understand why you hired me.  You need an advocate who will guide you through what might be one of the most difficult and agonizing experiences of your life.  You’re not just a “client file” here.  I’m passionate about helping my clients through the legal process.  Achieving a positive outcome in your case is my priority.. I achieve results because I’m disciplined.  The military forged self-discipline into my character.  I served nine years and two combat tours as an active duty US Army officer.  Then I joined the Reserves and settled down in Syracuse to be near family.. You should know that about me, too.  Family is important and my law office puts families and people first.. In the Army, I was a prosecutor and spent years in the courtroom honing my advocacy skills.  I advised commanders and leaders in combat on the legal parameters of warfare.  I defended Soldiers accused of serious criminal offenses on appeal.  Here in Syracuse, I put the same level of commitment into my law practice.  I look forward to working for you. I am also a Partner of The New York Traffic Ticket Lawyers, which is specialized in defending clients who have been accused of traffic infractions, from simple traffic tickets to DWI or Reckless Driving.. Reliable. Responsive. Results.  Call me today and I’ll prove it.
