My firm is focused on Customer Service! I have worked at firms with fancy expensive offices, large amounts of staff, and where staff rather than their attorney handled the client’s case. The cases were not handled in a timely or efficient manner, costing the client's thousands of dollars more than necessary. The attorney's had way too many cases assigned to them with more work than they could possibly do. There was never time to be pro-active and many cases went untouched until the day of a deadline. If this is what you are looking for this firm isn't for you!I intentionally keep the number of clients at my firm to a manageable level. This allows me to provide exceptional representation and customer service. I give you my personal cell phone number, and when you call you will speak with me directly. I utilize a number of cost saving tactics, which allow me to pass savings onto you the client. When you retain me your case is handled by me, not another attorney that you have never met before. Quite frankly, there should be a lot more to an attorney client relationship than just an exchange of money, there has to be communication, understanding and trust.As a prior public defender and law enforcement officer, I dealt with many difficult situations that often required a creative approach to resolve them. Additionally, I know that not everything is as it seems. Not only do I have over a decade of criminal law, and family law experience. I also have considerable life experience that helps me understand what my clients are going through and how important it can be to handle situations quickly. Unfortunately, I have personal experience with divorce and child custody situations as well. I understand the myriad of emotions you are or will be going through.I offer a variety of services and payment options that allow my clients to afford the help they need. I offer flat fees, limited representations, low retainers and pay as you go plans in certain situations.
