“I believe in being courteous. I return phone calls promptly and keep clients apprised of any significant correspondence so they don't feel kept in the dark.”
“I believe personal values carry into the business world. For me, that means honesty and integrity. Always keeping your word — in front of the courts, and with clients — is an essential part of being a good lawyer.” |
