The practice of law is a craft and an art. It should be approached holistically with integrity, purpose, resourcefulness, grit, tenacity, and class. People of all backgrounds and statuses deserve competent, skilled lawyers who are committed to being their voice, their staunch advocate. I look forward to being that for my clients.
