I decided to move my practice to a solo firm to continue to represent clients in a variety of probate, juvenile, and other matters. This enabled me to gain broader business experience while also increasing my ability to work with the clients whom I could best serve. As a general practitioner, I advised clientsin cases of all sizes and complexity in and out of court. I also drafted, negotiated, and administered documents including real estate transactions, litigation pleadings, and contracts. As an attorney, I interfaced directly with assets and key witnesses in conducting investigations and facts-gathering. I also conducted research through physical and digital media to compile data for legal pleadings, investigative reports, or advisory opinions for clients. As a result, I regularly coordinated with key stakeholders while championing client interests at every step.A few of my achievements include:• Appointed Special Master for resolution of highly contentious property disputes and court advisement.• Served as guardian ad litem to advocate for adherence to contractual and court-ordered requirements.• Applied strong interpersonal skills to interface effectively with clients, opposing counsel, regulators.• Balanced daily operations, client service, sales, and marketing to drive continued growth of the practice.• Interviewed witnesses, analyzed evidence, and advocated for clients while minimizing risk.• Analyzed facts, identified risks, compared alternatives, and negotiated solutions to tense situations.• Utilized strong interpersonal skills to diffuse conflicts and find win-win situations in complex cases.
