After 15 years of practicing law, I’ve learned that the most meaningful measure of success isn’t a settlement, or a large amount of praise—it’s a referral.

When a client refers a friend, family member, or colleague, they’re doing more than passing along a name. They’re putting their trust and reputation on the line. That matters. It tells me I did more than handle a legal issue—I listened, I communicated, and I showed up when it counted.

In an industry where people often meet their lawyer during stressful or uncertain moments, earning that level of confidence is something I never take lightly. Referrals mean that our clients felt respected, informed, and protected throughout the process.

So if you’ve ever sent someone my way, thank you. Your trust is the foundation of my practice, and it’s the reason I’ve been able to be a solo-practitioner!

And if you ever know someone who needs guidance, clarity, or advocacy—know that I am still here, and I’ll treat them with the same care and commitment that you received.

Trust is earned. Referrals are proof.
