The first step in successfully representing a person is attempting to step into their shoes and empathizing with their issue.  My goal upon my first meeting with a client is that by the time they step out my door they feel they have been listened to, that their issue is now in competent hands, and that the stress they have been dealing with is alleviated. I strive to work cooperatively with my clients while we work together to obtain justice. I take my client's issues personally, and represent them as I would want to be represented.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife, two kids, and two dogs. I volunteer as a youth sports coach and love playing guitar. Prior to law school I spent two years with the United States Peace Corps in Kazakhstan.  The experience left me with a love of service and renewed respect for our system of law.
