I believe in compassionate and ethical representation of my clients. Throuhout my practice, I have learned that clients value communication as one of the most essential aspects in choosing a lawyer. Anyone who hires a lawyer wants to be kept informed as to the status of their case. I am always just a phone call away for my clients, and voicemail messages will never go unanswered.
When not practicing law, I can be found playing softball, working out at the gym, singing in my church choir, or performing in the DCBA's annual Judge's Nite show.
