Why is this the firm for you?
The choice of legal representation is one of the most important decisions you will make in your case so it should be taken seriously. You should do your research, interview attorneys and go with someone with whom you are comfortable. A good working relationship with your attorney is crucial.
I believe the essence of legal representation is understanding my client’s situation, helping them develop a reasonable plan to address their case after receiving feedback on the law and possible outcomes in court. Keep in mind there is a difference between possible and probable which is only something an experienced attorney can detail for you. The advice will be measured against what your attorney’s experience can reasonably project, because if a reasonable compromise is not achieved then the dispute will be resolved inside a courtroom.
My office is built upon over 15 years of experience rooted in family law litigation with a healthy mix of criminal defense and other areas of civile litigation. These cases have honed my skills as a trial lawyer so I developed a keen understanding of the dynamics involved in legal disputes including those in the courtroom. This is a benefit to every client as I can help them understand their position on this complicated playing field so we determine their best move forward. Sometimes we have to go to trial, sometimes they better served by getting a great settlement and sometimes the case ends up in a situation were we have to adjust on the fly between these options. Experience allows for me to explain the interaction between these options which have provided great value to my clients.
Like any “fight”, there are times when it is best to find a constructive and mutually beneficial solution. There are other times when you need to find a bulldog who is willing to be your champion, to stand tall and go toe to toe with the other side to make sure your interests are protected the best they can. In either scenario, it is critical to be able to tell the difference and have the advice of someone who can help in both.
