MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY
"I strive to build strong, trust-based relationships with my clients by leveraging my understanding of their business goals and staying deeply involved in every aspect of their cases — from developing overall strategy to managing trial teams. I provide sound judgment, practical problem-solving, and early risk assessments, helping to avoid unnecessary litigation and resolve issues efficiently. Drawing on my courtroom experience, I use a hands-on approach to guide clients through their most complex challenges with clarity, confidence, and care. But most importantly, I listen to our clients. It’s better to understand their suggested and/or recommended approaches and potential solutions to resolving issues."
