The practice of law is not for the faint of heart. I was born to be an attorney. My clients agree, and the successful results I obtain for them are the best evidence of my abilities. There is no greater reward then assisting a business or an individual by applying the knowledge, skills, and experience I have gained in the past 34 years in the practice of law. I look forward to serving the needs of each and every client.
