As a lawyer, my job of course is to represent my client’s best interest. However, for me, there is much more to being a lawyer than that. The opportunity to be a client’s advocate, ally, collaborator, and hopefully friend, is what I believe makes this job one of the best in the world. It is a profession that consistently demands one to lean on the skills of the trade while also requiring awareness of what is on the horizon. I look forward to helping clients with their business transactions, and all the unique relationships and experiences that come with it.
