the guiding principles of my practice
00:06
are really integrity and commitments
00:08
I really value direct and honest
00:10
communication and with my clients that
00:13
takes the form of talking certainly
00:15
about the strengths of their case but
00:17
also the weaknesses so that we can go
00:19
into the litigation with clear eyes and
00:22
realistic expectations at the same time
00:24
I think it’s important to provide a safe
00:27
space for my clients I recognize that
00:29
being part of a dispute or certainly a
00:32
lawsuit can be some of the most trying
00:34
times for someone and I see my role as a
00:36
tour guide through that process and
00:38
someone who will be there with you until
00:41
this thing is done I certainly
00:42
appreciate that most people hope never
00:44
to need to hire a litigator and I
00:46
certainly hope that’s the case for my
00:48
clients but my philosophy is while
00:51
you’re here let’s make this the most
00:53
enjoyable and positive experience that
00:55
can be the most rewarding aspect of my
01:01
practice is really partnering with my
01:03
clients – right or wrong I think a big
01:06
part of my practice is listening to my
01:09
clients tell a story of how they’ve
01:12
suffered some type of injustice whether
01:14
it be someone didn’t uphold their side
01:17
of a bargain a contract or someone told
01:20
lies about you on the internet or maybe
01:22
the government is not respected your
01:24
First Amendment rights that’s what’s
01:26
motivating to me to you know work with
01:29
them to solve the problem I think ever
01:32
since I was a little girl I had a very
01:33
clear sense of what was fair and not
01:36
fair and now it’s my honor as an
01:38
attorney to fight that fight alongside
01:41
with my clients to get the position
01:43
corrected
