How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?
I wanted to practice where I could have a positive influence on people in concrete ways. I like coming up with creative solutions to help individuals solve problems.
What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I believe that clients should learn as much as they can about the legal issues they face. While it is unlikely that they will have the time and training to bring their level of understanding up to that of an attorney who has developed expertise in the area of the law in question, study of the issues by the client would make for a more effective discussion with the attorney about how to proceed with and resolve the particular legal matter in question.
