The lawyer you meet is the lawyer you keep.
A short introduction, so you know who you are calling before you pick up the phone.
Seven years at a firm taught me the work. Opening my own office taught me the clients.
I was admitted to the bar in 2009 and spent my first seven years at a mid-size firm, where I learned how matters are really won: preparation, patience and a clear explanation to the person paying for it.
In 2017 I opened my own practice with a simple rule. I take on only as many clients as I can serve myself. It means I sometimes say no, and it means the people I say yes to get all of me.
