One of my mentors taught me that “How you do anything is how you do everything.” This requires examination of each of your actions and habits to make sure that you always put your best foot forward.

Although I am a seasoned and licensed practitioner, I no longer actively engage in the practice of law and do not render legal advice to anyone. Nonetheless, I love the law and read various legal journals, blogs and books on a daily basis. I gladly share these resources with my clients, colleagues, CLE students as well as readers of my website and other social media outlets.
