    “I believe that my first role as an attorney is to find a solution to my client’s problem. When the obvious answers are no longer available, I will work the problem until I find a solution that works for my client. Sometimes this is an entirely unexpected approach and we have to look at the problem in an entirely new way, but I believe that if given enough thought, every client's problem has a solution.”
