LAW
I practice Property Law, Commercial and Business Law, Trust Law, Elder Law and Estate & Succession Planning.
In my mind, the most rewarding part of being a lawyer is providing great client service. To me clients are more than a file, a transaction, or a matter. I take the time to thoroughly understand the issues being faced, and by combining that with my clients position and goals, I can provide practical and tailored advice. With my help, clients have a full understanding of the transaction (particularly their legal obligations) and can make informed decisions which work best for their situations. I believe that being a good lawyer is all about caring for your client.
