What influences led you to your primary area of practice and what life experiences made you a better attorney?

Throughout my life, I have seen two types of people, those who make excuses and those who make differences. My practice of law provides me with an opportunity to be one who makes a difference for my clients and the community. My lifelong growth and knowledge learned from being a father of two children compiled with my years of legal practice and volunteer service have given me a growing perspective of persons and situations which assists me in providing up-front, personal legal representation for my clients.

Describe your law firm.

By being comprised of hard-working attorneys who handle broad and varied types of legal matters, we are able to offer a full range of legal services by providing personal and individual attention to clients and legal matters that are sometimes lost with a larger firm.
