MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"A key goal in serving clients is to become a trusted advisor. In my experience, to serve clients as an advisor from a relationship of trust requires the lawyer to invest professionally to learn client objectives, understand how to achieve them, and commit to execute as a team member with client to achieve the objectives. Investable skills include listening more than talking, thinking before doing, willingness to own challenges and share successes along the path. My undergraduate studies of physics and math have afforded me the tools to analyze complex situations and create solutions; the judgment, when appropriate, to pivot toward a more promising path; and the commitment and energy to persevere in times of difficulty. More important, I am grateful for the ability to align these tools with deep legal knowledge and transactional experience to assist the client in achieving their goals, and to appreciate the reward of earning the client’s trust."
