What My Practice Means to Me
The attorney client relationship to me is about trust, communication and consistency. Nothing comes off my desk that I don’t consider to be superior work, or more importantly, that YOU wouldn’t consider to be superior work. My relationships with my clients are typically very long term. I am often asked to cover things that are outside of my expertise because my client says they like and trust me, and would prefer that I just figure it out, which I do. I take great pride in my clients’ achievements and enjoy watching them grow and prosper.
