The solution to effectively solve any client matter must be tailored to that client’s wants and goals. I believe in a tactical approach to every matter that satisfies the client’s overall objectives, whether that’s thinking ahead to prevent an issue, negotiating a resolution to a dispute, or bringing or defending a lawsuit.
