I bring a single-minded, quiet devotion to my work. And then I bring my work home. I understand that clients want both technological savvy and a lawyer who will put technology aside when it matters, and look a client, opposing counsel, or a judge in the eye. Smart clients also want a bright lawyer, not a brash one.

Professionally, preserving my client’s liberty, options, and opportunities matters most to me. In short, I press hard for a client’s potential and I do that because of every client’s potential.
