"Going to court can be a stressful experience. As a member of the Litigation Department, I try to put my clients at ease by thoroughly explaining the legal process and promptly addressing any questions that come up during the course of litigation. 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. A calm, well-informed client always makes a better witness, which in turn, helps ensure a successful result." |
