MY VISION

Vision statements are all too often filled with adjectives that sound nice but really do not come from the heart or from experience.  After 38 years of practice my vision statement is a reflection of my past practice. When I came out of Temple Law School in 1978 the field of law in which I wanted to start practicing was still a mystery to me, but I was sure of one thing; I wanted to help people. I wanted my work to make a difference in other’s lives. So besides being professional and efficient I have always strived to let my client’s and their families know that I care, that I take a personal interest in their case. I want my clients to communicate with me openly and frequently so that I understand the extent of their loss, pain, and future needs. I want to make sure that my client’s needs arising out of their case are being met to the best of my ability; I understand through experience that often means going beyond case law, legal fillings, and courtrooms. It involves helping my clients with familial, financial, social, medical, and a plethora of other issues. After a meeting or a phone call with me or my staff I want my clients to feel a sense of relief and satisfaction that their questions have been answered to the best possible extent. I know that legal matters are foreign and downright scary to a lot of individuals and their families. As an attorney I want to allay those fears and make sure my clients understand the process every step of the way. It means being honest with my clients regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their case. And it always requires through preparation. Results can range from settlement, possibly through mediation, or trying the case through jury verdict. My vision will continue to be how I have practiced in the past; hard work, communication with a good dose of listening, honesty, loyalty, empathy and yes a sprinkling of love. You’re the boss, I’m here to serve you.
