I became a lawyer to fulfill the “esquire” origins of the profession—to act in the tradition of knights and defend the interests of those I represent. I step into my clients’ shoes, get an in-depth understanding of what they face, and take on their problems as if they’re my own. It’s satisfying to apply my experience, knowledge and training to secure an optimal resolution to issues that have been their sources of stress for months or even years.
