    Principles

    • Personal attention. I personally handle every case and my staff and I are available to our clients. Phone calls are returned promptly.
    • Selective practice. We do not run a client mill - every case is important to us and we limit our caseload so that every client can get priority attention.
    • I understand the stakes. Many of our clients are in the fight of their lives. My staff and I are with them every step of the way.
