About Jim
Biography
I am passionate about my job, my family and my conditioning. In my spare time, I work out biking, swimming and lifting light weights. I enjoy litigation for a number of reasons. First, it is a mental and emotional challenge to always keep your wits about you and to allow the best and most important information about your client and their case to be presented to the jury or the judge. Second, it requires split second timing and decision making. These two things make it very enjoyable for me as I am very critical of myself so I always want to improve despite having practiced for over 37 years.
Putting your client first, having them prepared and me being prepared requires a significant amount of effort, but when done well is very emotionally rewarding for me as I feel that I have helped another person which is imporant to me.
