my philosophy revolves
00:06
around one word responsibility
00:10
our clients entrust us with matters that
00:12
have significant consequences
00:14
and whether a client or family member
00:16
suffered a catastrophic injury
00:18
or whether a client was sued for causing
00:20
damage to another
00:21
the financial consequences for the
00:23
client can be substantial
00:25
i’ve been in practice for over 30 years
00:28
and each day i take a measure
00:30
of the responsibility that comes with
00:32
our service

00:40
ferguson hired me in 1992
00:43
to help him with his insurance defense
00:44
practice i was just two years out of law
00:47
school
00:48
and i was very impressionable and from
00:50
the very first day
00:51
bob instilled in me the importance of
00:53
professionalism
00:54
and an understanding that the law is an
00:57
honorable profession
00:58
i zealously represent my clients but i
01:01
always do so with respect for my
01:02
opponent
01:03
and respect for the court attributes
01:05
instilled by bob ferguson i also started
01:08
working with tom shetlick in 1992 and
01:10
tom taught me to be generous
01:12
in my practice not only generous with my
01:14
time
01:15
and effort in service of the firm’s
01:17
clients but generous with my time in
01:19
helping others within the firm
01:21
just as tom helped me when i was an
01:22
associate to build my skills as an
01:24
attorney
01:24
and to build my practice i’m striving to
01:27
do the same
01:28
with our younger lawyers
