What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
We try to educate our clients on all the legal issues facing their case. This allows them to make better decisions and assist with the factual preparation of their cases. It is our client's lives that are affected and as such they need to make educated decisions that affect them.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
We will review documents prepared by clients.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
On a limited basis we help clients in this area.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
Our firm is built on the philosophy of protecting those who cannot protect themselves.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
Our attorneys have worked as construction workers, oilfield workers, teachers, and police officers. Their vast experience gives them insight into the needs of clients and on the investigation of cases.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
Clients deserve fair and aggressive representation when they are injured. It is about their needs and not the needs of the attorney.
What do you like best about your career?
Protecting clients from those who want to harm them both financially and emotionally.
Tell us about your law firm:
We have three attorneys working for our clients. Depending on the needs of the client a different attorney is assigned. This saves our clients money and gives them a wealth of experience. We have two paralegals and a receptionist insuring our clients' needs are quickly responded to by the attorneys.
What are your strengths and style?
We provide aggressive and dedicated representation. We believe that this best protects our clients in the litigation and injury claims.
