I am an attorney in northern Colorado. I love fixing up old Jeeps, fixing up old houses, and flying small aircraft for fun. I grew up on the east coast but put my roots down in Fort Collins, CO. I studied engineering and physics in college before law school.
My practice focuses on business and transaction law, estate planning, and dispute mediation. Before becoming a second-career attorney, I spent twenty years in engineering and project management at a large chemical company. Now I enjoy applying my project management thinking to complex legal problems.
Clear communication is the cornerstone of my law practice. Ambiguity, silence, and delay are avoided at every step. My clients and I follow checklists, progress calendars, and written goals to keep a project moving forward. If you have ever heard someone say "the lawyers have to look at it, so that adds three weeks" you know how frustrating it can be. I pride myself on moving quickly. Frequent communication fosters trust while the technical work progresses in the background.
I am accustomed to complex, urgent, and high-profile problem solving for engineering and legal matters alike. Often, my clients have intertwined engineering, business strategy, and legal problems. Some of my clients have intertwined business and estate planning questions. Whether you are building your business, planning for retirement, or wondering what would happen to your family if you pass away, contact me for a free consultation.
