What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
It is important for clients to get basic background information. Learn enough to be able to conversant with professionals (Lawyers, Accountants, and Doctors).
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
As a general rule, I do not like to review documents prepared by clients.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
Generally, I do not engage in "coaching" clients to represent themselves. Clients are at an enormous disadvantage if there is counsel on the other side.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I decided to be a lawyer as I have always been interested in intellectual challenges. In addition, I enjoy being an advocate.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I relate to my clients more than most attorneys. I "worked through law school." I empathize and understand regular people - I am able to give direct "plain English" advice.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
Initially, I was hired as a bankruptcy attorney. Twelve years later, I have made a career in this area of law.
What do you like best about your career?
I receive great satisfaction when my clients thank me for helping them keep their businesses/houses. Other clients are very relieved to get rid of their debt.
Tell us about your law firm:
I am a sole practitioner, who meets with all clients. My legal assistants have been with me for 5 and 7 years respectively. We are all diligent and responsive to our clients' needs.
What are your strengths and style?
My strengths include that I am able to deal with complex issues/situations. I also am able to speak with different types of individuals "on their level." In terms of style, I seek to put my clients in positions where they can succeed.
Personal Interests:
I spend much of my non-work time at my children's activities and/or functions. I love coaching Little League football.
