Biography
If there was motto for my practice, it would be, "Honesty above all else, even if it hurts your feelings and hurts my wallet."
You very well may need an attorney, but what you absolutely need is someone who will be completely honest with you about what to expect, what the realistic outcomes of your case are, and what the road map is to get there.
Let's sit down and go over your case and I will be honest with you about whether I can help you, and how I can help you reach the achievable goals that we set up for your case.
