I am a professional. The aim of my professional training and experience is to represent you; to fulfill your goals and to aid you in solving problems. I recognize that, as I strive to be a problem solver, I must always keep my eye on your goals and seek the means that best achieves them.

To those ends, I make the following commitment:

1. To treat you with respect and courtesy.
• To take the time to understand what you want.
• To exercise my highest level of skill to help you achieve that goal.
• To take the time to explain what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
• To keep you informed of the actions I am taking on your behalf.
• To return your phone calls and answer your written inquiries promptly.
• To charge reasonable fees for my services and to explain the basis for fees and other charges before we begin our relationship.
• To strictly preserve your confidences.
• To best represent you and the system of justice by treating opposing parties and their counsel with courtesy and fairness and in accordance with the highest standards of the legal profession.
• To represent my fair share of indigent persons and those who cannot adequately speak for themselves, and to serve the community in which I practice as both a leader and a worker.
