“In this area of law, we’re warriors. My approach is to persevere through the distractions and delays and to keep the big picture in mind.”
“I will not just review the details of your case, trot out sixteen options and write a bunch of letters. Instead I will sit down with you, find out what you need and what your goals are. Then I will work tirelessly for you – all the while adhering to my ‘three C’s’: cooperation, civility and common sense.”
“It’s pretty simple: getting a win for my client. If a victory takes a world of weight off their shoulders, that really makes it worthwhile. It probably sounds a bit corny but I do believe that justice will out.”
