People bring trial attorneys their most serious problems. To achieve the best possible result, I treat the client’s problem as my problem. It’s not limited to 9 to 5, but rather a challenge constantly being studied, and re-studied, from every perspective until a strategy is developed to achieve the best results for the client. I know of no other way.
