Let's Chat.
If you are in need of legal counsel, please give me a call. I am happy to consult with you to see if I may be of assistance in your matter.
You may reach me by phone or email, but please note that sending an email or leaving a voicemail in no way creates an attorney-client relationship. With that in mind, it is best to leave me just your name and contact information, along with a general description of the situation you are seeking representation for. I promptly return all emails/calls.
