Why did you become an attorney?

To be able to help my clients navigate the real estate industry. Whether its recovering property or money for a client that has been harmed, defending a client that is wrongly accused of causing harm, or developing creative ways to help a cleint minimize damage, all clients need help. As an attorney, I can use me knowledge and skils to help navigate the complex legal world and develop solutions for my cleints to resolve their legal issues.

What experiences (work and personal) help you to be a better attorney?

I have a diverse background including work in Real Estate Law, Criminal Law, Immigration Law, Employment Law, and Probate Law. This varied background allows me to look at issues from a differnent persepctive and develop solutions to help my cleints.

What made you choose your primary specialty focus of law?

I chose to focus on Real Estate law because often a persons home is their most valued possession and helping clients manage their real estate issues is invaluable. If my cleints are buying their first home or renting they want to know that they have a place to call home. Additionally, Real Estate Law exposes me to both the transactional side of law as well as litigation.

What makes your law firm unique?

Our firm is unique because we are a small firm that allows us to charge lower and more reasonable rates and to spend more time with each individal case. Our firm also has a Title Agency in the same office to provide Title Services to cleints that need them. We have over 40 years of experience in the Columbus real estate market.
