How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

I was never interested in litigating. When I was offered my first job in Santa Barbara, I immediately accepted the offer, mostly because the primary attorney promised me I would not have to litigate. I was not sure what specific areas interested me. It turned out that the areas of law which that firm specialized in--business and personal transactions--were what most interested me.

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

I encourage this. An informed client generally has a good understanding of what to expect from their attorney and what they themselves can contribute. This can also save them significant legal fees.

Is your firm willing to review documents prepared by clients?

For similar reasons as stated in the previous answer, I encourage the client's participation. If what they have prepared is seriously off the mark, I am honest but insistent that I must be more actively involved.

Is your firm willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

It depends on the client. If I believe, at our first meeting, that the client is capable of adequately representing themself, I will encourage them. In addition, that first meeting will usually tell me whether I want to represent the client at all (I do not by any means accept all matters that come my way.).
