MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"The foundation of any engagement is having a thorough understanding of the client’s underlying concerns and business objectives before you dive into the factual and legal analysis. An effective way to do that is to know their business and anticipate their needs before the client seeks your help. And, when they do, be as responsive and practical in every communication with the client as you are on the first day they ask for your assistance."
