What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

There are times when an attorney is not necessary, but it is critical that clients be informed of the reasonableness of their objectives. Clients need to realize that sometimes the law is gray and the application of anything they have read is fact-dependent.

Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?

We happily review documents prepared by clients, but occasionally the review is more expensive than if we had drafted the document in house.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

Only for small claims matters.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

When I was a little girl, I decided that I wanted to be the first female Supreme Court Justice.

What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?

Fifteen years experience with major corporations focused on electronics, electrical components, import, export, and governmental regulations has provided a critical insight into business, the needs of businesses, the financial impact of litigation, and situations which may unexpectedly arise. This understanding helps focus representation to best suit the company and its needs or the individual's requirements.

Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?

Business, domestic and international law is our cornerstone, with many years of experience prior to law school. Real Estate, Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts, and Probate are all intertwined with Business and they were logical areas for practice.

What do you like best about your career?

I like having happy, satisfied clients best.

Tell us about your law firm:

Hardworking, pleasant, cheerful, and helpful.

What are your strengths and style?

Business sense and communication style.

I explore all options with clients, focus on joint decision-making, and understanding all aspects of any particular situation. I am forthright and direct.

Personal Interests:

Family, travel, community activities.
