We are committed to supporting participants in the legal system so they can successfully achieve results that always reflect important moral values and serve the highest good.
When clients meet with me for the first time, they usually frame their legal questions from a perspective that is very personal, if not highly emotional. If I advise them to take legal action without fully exploring the feelings underlying their "legal" situation, an opportunity for a solution that addresses their real interests may be overlooked. I usually spend a lot of time listening so that I can allow myself to join them at the level at which they really want to communicate, the level of their feelings which are motivating their behavior and driving their decision-making. Only then can I effectively help them fashion a legal solution that will ensure a successful outcome.
The training of most lawyers does not account for the feelings of clients but rather focuses on a clinical analysis of facts to which rigid rules are applied. Most clients, however, relate to their lawyers through a mixture of emotions and feelings. Consequently, clear communication of goals and methods is difficult to achieve, and misunderstanding often results.
Successful legal decision-making can be compromised if the client does not feel that the lawyer clearly understands the issue at hand or if the lawyer's advice does not feel "right." The client can be drawn into a course of action from which there seems to be no escape, usually to the client's financial and emotional detriment.
The purpose of this website is to provide clients struggling with legal issues and the legal system with insights that will help them make decisions that guarantee true and lasting success. The insights provided here are not to be considered as legal advice, nor are they intended to be a substitute for the legal advice you may be currently receiving. These insights are designed to empower you to make your lawyer and his or her advice work for, not against, you. This website will help you access your own intuition to make decisions that you can feel good about.
