MOST REWARDING ASPECTS OF WORK

Being able to choose the cases I accept allows me to work with wonderful clients. Each case allows me to learn something new about my client, their business, or the industry they operate in. Each case involves a different and nuanced area of the law which allows me to continually expand my understanding of the law. Finally, I love the competition that comes with litigation. Every facet of a case from the initial filings, discovery, motions practice, and trial is about achieving the best results for my client.
