“I have always tried to treat people the way I want to treated—with respect, kindness and compassion. I have found that listening is one of the most important skills, especially in the legal profession.  Sometimes people just need to tell their story and have someone listen to them.  While I can’t take my clients’ pain away, I can use my legal skills to allow them to focus on healing, while I navigate through the legal process for them.”
