About Us
Protecting the Law Since 1996
I enjoy representing individuals and businesses in both pre-litigation planning and risk reduction strategies and, when necessary, in the pursuit of justice through the civil litigation. I think my role is to help my clients, within the bounds of the law, achieve their reasonable goals in the quickest and most efficient way possible.
