I genuinely care about my clients, and I feel that their problems and achievements are mine as well. When they’re facing a lawsuit, I first find out their goals. I’m very up front with them and always ensure that they’re satisfied with the direction we’re going. It’s very fulfilling to shrewdly and strategically position a case and then achieve the client’s desired outcome.
