My philosophy is that I am here for my clients and it should not be the other way around. I strive to service my clients in the most professional and efficient manner from both a time and cost perspective, while ultimately achieving the desired end result. A successful attorney/client relationship is one of trust, hard work, communication, service and accomplishment. By establishing long term relationships with my clients and with the community through civic involvement, I am able to give back to each individual and the community as a whole.

Working with clients is the most rewarding part of being a lawyer. It is very gratifying to help business owners that have lost their way get back on track by straightening out their corporate governance issues. I enjoy helping businesses get back on track. I also enjoy counseling my clients about their business’ succession planning issues. Everybody will eventually transition out of their companies, and I help my clients be forward-thinking.

It is my job to counsel my clients about the options they have available to resolve those legal matters, and at the same time assess the tax or financial impact of those options in order to try to maximize the final results on an after-tax basis. My analytical mind, education and experience combine to enable me to evaluate the issues en route to identifying practical and workable solutions. I feel that the most gratifying way to establish a relationship with a new client is as a result of a referral from an existing client.

I adjust my strategy to suit each situation as it presents itself in order to achieve the best possible results for my client. I adapt to judges’ styles as well as those of opposing counsel. Sometimes I have to be aggressive and take a hard-line stance, but sometimes it makes more sense to be flexible and negotiate. I am comfortable and confident modifying my actions to suit the situation. I also enjoy taking a client through a sometimes very emotional cycle to a satisfactory result. It makes me feel good at the end of the day when I’ve successfully guided somebody through a complex area of the law and accomplished their goals. My clients know that I have listened to their feelings, anxieties, fears and wishes, and have advocated for them accordingly.

"A long time ago a retired Superior Court Judge told me, "You don't pick your practice specialty, it picks you." I believe that to be absolutely true, as my role as a domestic relations attorney is completely suited to my personality. It allows me to problem solve, to litigate, and to have personal interaction with my clients. Gradually, over the years, I became aware that not only was this area of the law what I did best, it was the most satisfying one for me personally."

Then I can offer an overview of the law that addresses their concerns in the proper perspective. My domestic clients are fraught with emotionally charged troubles, so it is important for me to get a clear picture before mapping out legal strategies. In addition, my corporate clients need a distinct plan of action, and that is also best determined through careful consideration of their concerns and issues. As for Bacon & Wilson's overall practice, as Managing Partner, I am committed to result oriented policies. We are renowned for an exemplary work product and a zealous representation of our clients, and I am proud to uphold that tradition.

My extensive trial experience allows me to give them a clear picture of what to expect in the courtroom, during depositions, mediation or arbitration, or at other hearings. This approach minimizes a client's anxiety and maximizes my ability to uncover and present evidence, which is helpful to the case.

My extensive business background provides me with a unique insight into my clients’ legal concerns, which often assists in developing cogent, multi-level strategies for resolving complex and challenging issues. In the event that we cannot resolve a problem without litigation, I make every effort to involve my clients in the entire process. I find that by keeping my clients informed and included in every aspect of a lawsuit, and not just the trial itself, we are able to present the most compelling possible case in the courtroom.
