I became a lawyer when I was 39 years old. I wanted to be a voice for people who could not obtain justice without a forceful dedicated advocate. I am committed to the highest standards when representing a client. The practice of law is challenging, interesting, and exciting. The art of practicing law requires knowledge, dedication, experience, imagination, persistence and hard work to obtain justice and the best possible result in each case. Each client warrants such an advocate.
