After starting my trial law practice in 1983, I became convinced that the ordinary person has a difficult time daling with litigation, including its unpredictability and expense. In 1999, I left the traditional practice and begand calling myself a "counselor at law" - offering affordable legal advice and making referrals to litigators when one was needed. In 2014, I have published a book called "Litigation - Insult to Injury: What Judges and Lawyers Know About the Legal System That You Don't," a book designed to educate consumers, lawyers, mediators, law students, mental health professionals, and experts on how to approach the legal system with an intelligent understanding of its operations. I am now offering CLE's and doing speaking engagements. I hope to help improve our legal system through this forum.
