MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY
"Without excellent and responsive service, there are no clients, so let’s start there. But there is so much more. I start every representation by working to understand the client’s business and core values, the internal challenges they face, and their goals for the representation. I want to know what constitutes a “win” for the client—sometimes an early exit, a change in direction or a conflict avoided is as good or better than a favorable judgment. I take a big picture, strategic view of the matter, I look for creative solutions, and I develop a common sense plan to achieve the client’s strategic goals. In the heat of battle, I strive to stay calm, to reduce stress and to be compassionate and polite to all involved—client, management, support staff and opponents. Clients notice. And most importantly, no surprises—ever. That, and making sure that we all have fun while doing it. "
