Q & A
What do you think clients value about working with you?
I think they see just how committed our team is to their project. I think they see how hard we work to know their business, needs, and concerns and I think they see how much we care.
How do you view your client relationships?
I have the good fortune of having a relationship-based practice. I have worked with a number of clients for 15 to 20 years, and many have come to see me as an extension of their team and a trusted advisor, not just their lawyer.
