my philosophy in the practice of law is every day i come to work my goal is to create, build and maintain relationships with clients i’ve been practicing law for more than 20 years during that time has come become very clear to me that clients are best served when they establish long-term relationships of trust with their attorneys what we try to do is listen to our clients we find out what their objectives are and their goals are and we try to make their goals our goals and internalize them related to that as we represent clients we try to establish good relationships with everybody we run across want to run across people in the court staff judges opposing counsel of course everyone we run across in the legal community in the business community in the government community and we have established a very good relationship in the community every day we work to further that relationship and that assists us in working with clients and it benefits clients that we have such a good relationship in the legal community

what you can expect from me as a client is that i’m going to communicate with you very well really the thing i enjoy the most about practicing law is working with clients getting to know them working with their employees their management their owners and it’s critically important to communicate with them promptly and clearly and respectfully what we try to be very mindful of when we’re working with clients is that they are engaging us at a time that they are outside of their comfort zone whether it’s a personal matter or a business matter we need to give them the confidence that we have their best interests at heart that we’re working diligently to represent them with a great deal of knowledge that we’re bringing to bear to the subject listening is critically important practicing law for as long as many of us have it’s very easy sometimes to start to assume what the client’s objectives are and not listen to them and not have a great understanding of what their goals are frequently the client’s goals are not exactly what we think the goal should be but ultimately it’s the client that makes the final decision we need to make sure we understand what their goals are work with them come come through with them to the best solutions to meet those goals and work with them throughout that process we want to be very creative we want to be on the cutting edge of developments developments in the law there are always new developments the further away from law school you get the more incumbent it is on lawyers to make sure they’re educating themselves with continuing legal education or otherwise to make sure we’re knowledgeable with all things that we need to do to represent them and bring to bear that knowledge and the representation of the client
