Welcome!  And thank you for visiting our website.  Your visit indicates that you are in the process of hiring an attorney which is not an easy task.  Your decision will rest on several important factors; however, the critical question that must be answered is: what makes the ideal attorney for you and your legal matter?

First, you need an attorney who is knowledgeable and who has experience in the subject area of your legal matter.  Second, you need an attorney who is aggressive but who also has the temperament to listen to your concerns and provide you with the proper, competent legal counsel.  Third, you need an attorney who is diligent and meticulous – one who makes sure that every “i” is dotted and every “t” is crossed.  We meet, and always try to exceed, all of these criteria.
