My Philosophy

My goal is to obtain the best possible result for my clients. I approach each case with my client’s individualized goals in mind, whether that is a settlement, a motion to dismiss, or a trial. I strive to be prepared and zealous while maintaining trusting relationships with all parties and the court.
