How long have you been with the firm?
I have been a principal in the firm since 1999, however I joined the firm as an associate in 1997.
What is it you love about your job?
I really enjoy meeting new people who need help with fixing a problem. I relish the challenge of finding a solution to a clients’ problem. I cherish the idea of helping a client through a really difficult time in their life and getting them out the other side. A big part of my day often involves acting for ‘the little guy’ against big insurance companies and I guess I have always liked the story of David and Goliath.
