Located in Old Town Alexandria and able to consult with clients on a flexible schedule in almost any location, my office offers counseling and advice on a wide array of legal matters. I can typically offer you options that avoid costly litigation. Focused on custom low-cost and effective client-centered representation, my referral-driven practice can often provide a more responsive experience at a greater value.

A unique feature of my practice in particular: I maintain incredibly low overhead expenses and can therefore pass that cost savings on to my clients. In other words, you get more bang for your buck.

Finding the right attorney to assist you with your case or issue can be an overwhelming experience. The attorney you select should be able to tell your story in a compelling manner. To tell your story effectively, your attorney needs to know your story–and know it well. Rembember, a good lawyer will arm you with clear and objective advice and enable you to control your own representation.

General practice (or a general law practice) typically encompasses a broad range of practice areas–many of which often overlap. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, I practice in not only several geographic but also subject matters areas. In other words, I do not not limit my law practice to one particular jurisdiction or one particular area of law. This is very common among solo practitioners. Flexibility is a benchmark and a benefit that a solo practitioner can provide.

Since general practice encompasses such a broad range of possible situations, there is no single expected outcome. If you retain me to draft or review a common document, you can expect a legally binding document whose terms you can understand. If you retain me to represent you on more complicated matters, you should expect that I will expertly represent you and zealously advocate on your behalf. No attorney can guarantee that you will win your case, however, having an attorney that knows the law and the courtroom puts you in the best position for positive outcomes.

For these reasons, a general practice attorney can represent you in court, draft and review documents, and be your advocate in negotiations. In other words, a general practice attorney is useful for many common issues that people confront regularly. Have confidence that I will refer you to another attorney if I believe you need counsel better equipped to expertly represent your interests.

Please reach out if you have questions or simply wish to schedule an initial consultation. I may be able to provide you with a broad picture of the options and consequences you are confronted with. Case evaluations are conducted in a timely manner and at low-cost to you: just $35.

Educated at The Catholic University of America, The Columbus School of Law in the District of Columbia, I’ve been a licensed attorney and admitted to practice law in the courts of the Commonwealth since 2010. Prior to attending law school I worked as a professional for nearly 18 years–in the healthcare, information technology, and pharmaceutical sectors of private industry.
