Raised in Arizona, I started out as a CPA in the business world. I then realized I could affect the lives of individuals more profoundly by becoming an attorney. I began working at the largest Arizona civil defense firm for 7 years. On the eve of being made a partner, I decided to go out on my own and form a firm in order to work as closely with clients as possible. I continue to work directly with clients and do not have them handled solely by staff or underlings. I am competitive and if I take your case, I am doing so because I believe we can obtain a good result for you.
