As an attorney with over 20 years of experience, I have a keen ability to understand a client's needs and goals, and can explain the best ways how to achieve those needs and goals. My extensive experience as an attorney has afforded me the opportunity to work closely with various insurance companies and claims representatives negotiating settlements. Likewise, my litigation practice was client-focused from inception through and including settlement negotiations.While it is important to understand the various insurance products, it is imperative to understand your client's needs so as to best put together a policy that is not only tailored to the client's needs, but is also cost-effective. As an attorney with a busy litigation practice, I managed several cases at once. This caused me to learn how to prioritize, multi-task and pay close attention to detail. I am confident the skills I have gained as an attorney will translate into an effective and successful insurance agent and owner. I have a strong work ethic, am enthusiastic and not afraid to take the initiative. As a trustworthy and client-focused individual, my goal is to get to know each and every client and make sure they are properly educated on all their options to protect their loved ones as well as their property. Discussing insurance needs can be stressful for people. I am accustomed to discussing delicate and emotionally charged subjects with clients. Throughout my career, I have always thrived when presented with challenging work. My ability to communicate well, talent for listening carefully as well as being able to ask the right questions will help me personalize coverage for each client.
