Value to Clients

“I am a problem solver.  A lawyer that brings conflict and disputes to a resolution using the best method for each unique situation and the specific people involved. I am adept at negotiations because I can see that there are two sides to every story, and I can scrape away the emotion and get to the needs and wants of the parties. As an engineer and a lawyer, I can see the logical aspects as well as the personal or professional aspects of most problems, which often leads to quicker resolution."
