A brief history
I started in my own practice just a short time after I graduated from law school. I sent out announcement cards to my father's clients whom I had known since childhood. I also established a relationship with many of my father's clients from when I previously worked for dad as an accountant during college and law school. I was retained by one of my father's long-term clients to represent him on a large commercial real estate transaction in 1984. This resulted in representing the same client on a corporate matter, a personal property tax matter, and eventually a probate matter. I have never stopped working and have never run out of work since that very first client in 1984. The first client led to referrals of other clients, and my practice has never looked back. I will never forget the trust and faith that my first client showed in me.
Although I have retained many clients through my father's business, most of my current clients do not even know my father. However, both my father's influence and my initiative in establishing a relationship with my father's clients helped establish a base for my practice that has allowed it to prosper. I have been growing 20 percent a year and more for every year that I have been in practice, a growth that I continue to expect as long as my firm provides quality client services.
Landmark Cases
I am really proud of numerous things that have been accomplished for my clients over the past two-plus decades. Many clients have suffered serious personal, financial, and legal problems for which I have been fortunate enough to find solutions. Many other clients have avoided serious personal, financial, and legal problems through my guidance. These clients have shown their appreciation in various ways. A bond has been formed between me and these clients that gives satisfaction to me as a professional that cannot be matched anywhere. Although most of these cases have not made the headlines, they tell a story of human trust and bonding that is better than any news story or headline.
