At this point in my career I have purposely reduced the hours I spend providing legal services and limit the new matters I undertake. I still provide legal services to those special clients that I have represented for many years. I still enjoy what I do, I am just trying to do less so that I have more time to do all those other things I am lucky enough to do. I write this not to convince you not to contact me for help, but just to let you know candidly how that may influence your decision and mine about what I can do for you.
