I have practiced both law and business for the past seven years. I know the importance of being client-facing and that translates into providing rational and actionable insights that are delivered without jargon. I focus heavily on a client's optionality, not only educating them on the legal landscape, but also by providing strategy advice and risk analysis for your matters.
My goal is (1)… read more provide holistic counsel that considers the legal issues as well as the greater circumstances surrounding them, and (2) to align with the client on a course of action that they can fully understand, wholly appreciate, and feel more confident in deciding upon.
