As a general rule, most people loathe lawyers not because they believe that lawyers are bad people per se, but because generally the only time a person deals with an attorney is when things are going wrong and they associate that feeling with their interaction with attorneys.  My goal as an attorney is to change that perspective with my clients.  I know that the needs of every client is the most important thing to them and I believe the best way to deal with each client is to treat everyone that walks through my door with the compassion, time, and respect they deserve.
