About
- I think that one of the most important functions of any lawyer is to keep clients informed and aware of all developments in their cases
- I pride myself on being able to explain the most complicated legal concepts in a way that anyone can understand
- I return calls promptly and keep my clients informed of all developments in their cases
- I fight hard for all my clients
- Not all cases can be won, however, and not every defendant wants to fight the charges
- In those cases I believe that it is most important to get to know each client as an individual and to convey that understanding to the judge
- No one is defined by their worst acts
- I make sure to present a complete and well-rounded picture of the client so that the judge sees a complete human being and not just someone that made a bad choice
- I teach Evidence at American University Law School and am an instructor at the Harvard Law School trial advocacy workshop
- Outside of work I have a lot of cultural interests
- I am an avid theater-goer, attend the ballet and concerts, watch sports, and spend a lot of time with my dog
