Experience with practical insight sets my law practice apart from others. I have been practicing for more than 35 years and I am an "AV" rated attorney by Martindale Hubbell. I personally have represented entrepreneurs, business men and women, developers, widows, abused spouses and children. The common theme of my practice is people, not large corporations, but individuals with a variety of problems and needs. I desire a long standing relationship with clients and their children. I value their trust and confidence. I give them undivided loyalty and keep their problems and needs confidential and private.

I want to be referable to my client's friends and relatives. Therefore, I do say "thank you" and "please"; I am on time; I do what I say when I promise; and I finish what I start.

I do communicate with all clients regarding their case and what is happening. I recognize that clients really do know more than I do about their problem or need. I listen to what they have to say and act accordingly for their best interests.

I understand that the legal process is often confusing and feels extremely slow for people who are trying to work through an imperfect problem or need. I am sympathetic to their need to finish the job and bring the matter to conclusion.

My practice is limited to specific areas. I handle real estate sales and loans and I help homeowners acquire their first home. I handle all types of real estate litigation, for example: boundary line disputes, real estate contract disputes, real estate commission disputes, zoning changes, partitions of real property, quiet title suits, and suits to remedy the defective construction of a home.
