About
When I started this practice in 2009, I thought I knew all about being a lawyer. I had spent thirteen years at a prestigious international law firm in Boston. I had worked on complex cases involving large companies in many industries, from pharmaceutical to health care to seed companies. What I did not understand then was the true power of being in a position to help ordinary people facing challenges that seem extraordinary to them. I have had the opportunity to help families make sure the people they love the most are protected, small businesses avoid catastrophic lawsuits, entrepreneurs launch their dream without exposing their families to liability, hardworking people protect their right to be paid and treated fairly in the workplace, and more. Here is what I learned these people have in common: They are facing a challenge in their lives or their businesses that is unfamiliar to them. They do not know what questions to ask. In many cases, they do not have a great experience being heard, or feeling like someone has their back. They may have called a few law firms and, instead of finding solutions, been made to feel small, unimportant, or more overwhelmed. I've learned that it doesn't have to be that way. We may have seen your problem a hundred times before, but I and my team work hard to remember that it is new to you. We do not have "big" clients and "small" clients- we have clients, whose issues are all important to us. Our mission is to give you the best advice, advocate for your interests, help you ask the right questions, and make sure you have the information you need to make the decisions that are best for you or your business. So that when you come out on the other side of whatever you are facing- and you will- you will have not only a resolution but clarity about how you got there, and how you can avoid that particular problem in the future. Not sure which way to turn? Give us a call- we'd really like to help.
