Clients appreciate that I treat the practice of law as a customer-service business. I respond promptly to their questions and requests, and I strive to provide advice and legal work that are clear, practical, and straight to the point. I want my clients to come away with a result they can use and understand. I know the laws well because I deal with them in depth all day, every day, and I keep up with any changes. When clients come to me, they know they’re going to get an answer quickly because most likely I’ve come across the issue before so I can help them effectively and efficiently. Having owned my own business, I understand that clients want value for their money.
