Beyond helping the individual clients that I represent, I believe the work I do makes the community safer. Whether it be punishing dangerous conduct like texting while driving, ensuring that dangerous products are made safer, or changing a businesses’ irresponsible policies and procedures, the results I get can make a real difference on how people and businesses behave, making the community safer for all of us.
