I'm a highly communicative, creative individual, who loves to think outside of the box and problem solve. My career begain in a city, where I practiced in a general counsel style for various international entertainers. That background and diverse exposure to legal issues, from industry contracts to real estate and estate planning, provided a wonderful platform to transition to practicing a smaller community. I love it when people tell me that I don't meet their steriotypical idea of an attorney.
