After practicing for years in firm settings, I embarked on a path of my own, seeking a personal relationship with my clients that a firm did not always allow. My goals for each case are driven by the recognition that in a complex world, my clients have complex problems, and that the best way to resolve their problems is by working closely with each client and understanding that every client and every case is different.
