When Scrutiny is Called For

In my personal life, I try to assume the best in everyone. I genuinely like this life, my fellowmen/women, and all of the many blessings I have. In my practice, I have to scrutinize every thing, every fact, every statement, every motive, and every move – just like a soldier in battle – otherwise, I'd be worthless to my clients, to myself, to my business, to the system, and to the general public.

Many potential clients determine not to hire me because I ask the difficult questions and tell them how it is.  However, I've learned I don't want the kind of client who wants to be lied to, who wants me to see the way things are perceived, but to ignore or not know how they really are.  With me, you’re not hiring a cheerleader; you're hiring an advocate, a voice of support, and reason in a world of chaos.

I'm not the kind of attorney who will tell you that you have a great case, but then tell you I’m too busy and recommend you “darken the door” of another attorney.
