What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
We think that an educated client can be a valuable asset in attaining the best results. We take all the time necessary to explain the legal process and applicable laws in a given case. As such, our clients have a thorough understanding of the law and procedures needed to attain their goals.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
We are happy to review documents prepared by clients in the interest of helping them attain the best possible results in their case.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
We are always happy to assist clients who prefer to represent themselves for a reasonable fee.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I became a lawyer because I enjoy problem-solving. Each case requires puzzle pieces to be assembled with a clear strategy and goal in mind.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
Prior to law school, I was a professional magician. This provided me with great insight as to the working of the human mind and in managing complex situations and skeptical opponents.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
I have always liked bankruptcy and real estate. These areas often over-lap in the area of distressed real estate law. I find it very rewarding to be able to get real relief for clients from the Bankruptcy Court, unlike other areas of practice that are purely adversarial.
What do you like best about your career?
I wanted to help people. It is that simple. Obtaining a great result where everyone wins gives me a great feeling of accomplishment.
Tell us about your law firm:
For many years I was in a partnership, but for the past 15 years I have been a solo practitioner. I prefer this because I am solely responsible for assisting my clients, many of whom become friends. I personally hire and train my assistants who are caring about the needs of every client.
What are your strengths and style?
I have been described as very down-home, casual and clever in my style of practice before various courts. I have been described by an opponent as disarmingly simple, but dangerous in court.
Personal Interests:
My personal interests are western horsemanship, fishing and camping, study of the magical arts, wine collecting and car collecting.
