I am a second career lawyer. Before attending law school I spent ten years serving in the military as an attack helicopter pilot. I am a father and zealous advocate in family law cases. The same integrity, honesty and dependability required to operate as an aviator, now exists to create a dynamic attorney-client relationship.
