I represent people. The people I represent typcially have bought a used car that has undisclosed defects or prior accident damage and repair, new cars with significant warranty problems (Lemon Law), or are having problems with inaccurate credit reports or identity theft. I carefully select my cases with the philosopy of handling fewer cases, spending more time on them and getting better results.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family, running, biking, motorcycling, cross country skiing, and anything dealing with gadgets.
