I often tell clients that usually when you think you need a lawyer, it is probably too late.

Just because you have been accused of a crime does not mean you are guilty; nor...

Clients routinely thank me for the personal time and attention I give them, and I've been told many times that I've provided more useful information and guidance for them in one visit than they've had over the course of many weeks or...
