I see litigation as a real-life version of a “Choose Your Own Adventure” story, where every decision shapes the outcome. My role is to guide clients through those choices, helping them make informed decisions that align with their goals. I love diving into the nuts and bolts of a business and encouraging clients to explain their story in a way that resonates with someone unfamiliar with their industry—because, ultimately, that’s who will decide the case. This approach has allowed me to successfully represent clients nationwide and help them navigate complex legal challenges.
