I’m also different because I am a trial lawyer.  That means I’m not

the kind of attorney that sits at a desk for months pushing paper

back and forth until it’s time to try to reach a settlement

agreement.  I’m the kind of lawyer that walks into courtroom,

stands in front of a jury—a group of everyday people that holds

your fate in their hands—and convinces them why we’re right and

the other side is wrong. 

 

To me, that’s real lawyering. 

 

Real lawyering also means doing what’s right, not just what’s

profitable.  The difference between right and wrong is, of course,

a value I learned from my parents.  But working on legal cases in a

way that’s fair and just is a principle I learned having started

my career with the Department of Justice.  As an Assistant U.S.

Attorney and federal prosecutor, my goal wasn’t to win at all costs,

but to see that justice was done.  That meant that if something

or someone was in the wrong—even if it was the government

itself—my job was to make it right.  And I was relentless about it. 

 

That remains my guiding principle in the law:  Do the right thing.

 

So if you've been seriously injured, wrongfully terminated,

wrongfully accused, or hurt or abused in some other way,

perhaps I'm the lawyer for you.  Let's talk and see how we can

make it right.
