Recognizing That Clients Are People And Not Just "Cases," I Seek To Develop A Personal Relationship With Each Client

General Info

Mission and Approach A member of the Pennsylvania bar since 1976 and a law professor since 1983, I opened my office in Delaware County, Pennsylvania in September of 2000. After 17 years as a full-time law professor, teaching students the law of property, wills & trusts, and trial advocacy, it was time to apply my knowledge and experience to help citizens solve their legal problems and achieve their planning objectives. Recognizing that clients are people and not just "cases," I seek to develop a personal relationship with each client and the client's family. I take a holistic approach to the client's situation, considering the context as well as the details. Believing that the legal system should be used to heal rather than to wound, I am sympathetic to the emerging school of "therapeutic jurisprudence." Taking a creative approach to legal problem solving, I try to reduce conflict and avoid litigation by developing "win-win" solutions that satisfy the needs of all parties. When compromise fails, however, I am prepared to aggressively pursue available legal remedies on behalf of my client. I continue to teach law students as an adjunct professor at Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, Delaware. Teaching enriches my life and also my law practice by keeping me current with national legal trends.

Services/Products

Prior to beginning my practice, I was a law professor and consulted extensively with governments and private companies. While I have an intense intellectual interest in the law and find joy in teaching, I focus my practice on solving problems for my clients. I advise clients in matters involving elder law, estate planning, wills and trusts, residential and commercial real estate, and taxation. I take an intense personal interest in my clients' problems, their families, and their hopes for the future. My philosophy of law is that it is not an end in itself, but a tool to use to protect a person's rights and interests, and to help them achieve their financial and personal objectives. My problem-solving approach to the law leads me to use a range of techniques to achieve the client's aims. Frequently, I utilize negotiation and mediation to achieve cost-effective results in a dispute. When the situation demands it, I vigorously pursue litigation to protect my client's interests. Much of my work involves legal advice designed to avoid potential conflicts and the prospect of litigation. I am an adjunct professor at Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, Delaware, and have published extensively in topics ranging from the ethics of medical professionals to the legal aspects of coal bed methane recovery.
