Overview

My Clients Are From Referrals--It's All About Trust
I work exclusively from referrals and it is all about trust. If you are a potential client, it probably means that someone you trust has recommended me to you. Your referral may be from an existing client, another lawyer, a banker, a broker, an accountant or a friend, and that means everything to me. It means that the referring person trusts me with you, as a prospective client, and expects me to meet and exceed that trust in every project in which I may assist you. Trust cannot be bought or sold, it has to be earned. As I have earned the referring person's confidence and trust, let me earn your trust as well.
