WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Maureen is very practical and has great business savvy. Her advice is always saving me time and money."
MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY
"While exceptional client service requires expert-level knowledge, analytical skills, and good judgment, to truly become trusted advisors, lawyers must excel in responsiveness and providing practical counsel that considers the business objectives and risk appetite of our clients. You must know how your client defines a win in order to deliver one. And, ultimately, the pinnacle of my client relationship is realized when it evolves into an authentic friendship."
