I have always enjoyed meeting and working with people, and solving problems for clients, who are often stressed out by the entire process. Reducing client anxiety and stress is an improtant objective for me. I will try to first resolve a case by reaching an agreement with the opposition, since it saves a considerable amount of time, attorney fees and stress. If that fails I can be aggressive and determined to fight vigorously for my clients.
