About Me

I combine legal experience with an MBA and broad business knowledge to provide pragmatic, business-minded solutions and affordable counsel to my clients.

Running my family’s $20,000,000 150-employee manufacturing firm taught me the importance of exceeding client expectations by providing efficient cost-effective solutions.

My background allows me to advise clients on their business matters in addition to providing a pragmatic legal perspective.

(Please note at this time I am not accepting new clients.)
