Claimed Lawyer Profile

Biography

I am a Christian attorney. I have been practicing for 20 years. I seek to get to the bottom of my clients' issues and problems rather than just fix the surface, so that they leave my office with greater insight as to how to avoid getting into legal trouble and problems in the future. My faith is a big part of my communication with my clients and plays a large role in how I approach my legal practice in general.
