Activities and Awards
In addition to litigating cases, I regularly author articles and speak to organizations on topics related to business litigation.
What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
To effectively litigate a case, an attorney needs to understand his clients' goals and objectives, and the client needs to understand the universe of possible outcomes. I believe that it is very helpful for a client to be educated on the legal issues. An educated client can better understand what results are achievable and can assist counsel in effectively litigating the case.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
This is an important part of what is necessary to understand a case. I am always willing to listen to a client and review the documents that the client considers to be important.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
This is not a service that I provide.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I like to think creatively, argue persuasively, and compete (and win). Being a lawyer allows me to do some or all of these things on a daily basis. I really can't imagine doing anything else.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
My degree in economics from Princeton certainly helps me evaluate the merits of a case from a financial perspective. But what really helps me to be a good lawyer is my years of listening to clients, researching the issues related to their problems, and litigating their claims.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
I chose to be a business litigator, because I enjoy the breadth and complexity of the matters involved in this type of litigation.
What do you like best about your career?
The thing I like best about my career is helping clients to define and obtain a successful resolution to their disputes.
Tell us about your law firm:
The attorneys and the support staff at Turner Green are all highly-skilled, well-trained individuals who are thoroughly committed to what we do. Working among such talent is an energizing experience.
What are your strengths and style?
I like to think that what sets me apart from most lawyers is my commitment to aiming before firing. I do not treat every case the same, because they are not all the same. Instead, I carefully evaluate a claim and plan a course of action before acting. This saves my clients' money.
I am conscientious and thorough.
Personal Interests:
When not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two young children and exercising.
