Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? 

We practice family law, bankruptcy, landlord/tenant law and collections. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in philosophy of law, I knew I would either teach or go to law school. I chose the latter, because I thought being an attorney would be a way to apply practical philosophical theory to real-life situations. 

How are you involved with both the community and your customer? 

For the last three years, I’ve volunteered at the Volunteer Legal Services Program (VLSP) in Sacramento­­—which is a division of Legal Services of Northern California­—and provide legal counsel to the indigent and underserved populations.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Winning a family law case that involves the improvement of the lives of children; perk is an understatement really—it’s more of a privilege.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? 

Diamond Springs Hotel. The food is good, and the atmosphere is friendly. 

What’s your favorite local business other than your own? 

Rose’s Alterations on Placerville's Main Street. She tailors my suits and has for a number of years. Over the course of that time, she’s become a friend; what’s more, her work is quality, and she’s really friendly.

And finally, customer service is…? 

As an attorney, I can best serve my clients by listening to them; I mean really listening to them. It can be easy to fall into a mode where you’ve had numerous cases that seem similar at first glance, so one might assume they know how a client feels or what they’ve gone through after meeting with them for only 10 minutes. However, that’s not my belief, and it’s why I offer a one-hour free consultation, which is relatively uncommon in family law. I’m more concerned about the client than one hour of my time.
