Biography

“I chose to become a lawyer after watching my family survive a seven-year lawsuit. From that experience, I set a goal to help people solve their legal problems using efficient, cost-effective, strategies that are meant to drive a matter to a prompt resolution. Prior to or early in a lawsuit, I focus on creative problem-solving to generate win-win scenarios for all involved. When those efforts are not successful, I focus on using the most direct path to obtain a resolution in court.”
