“Having a transnational family myself draws me closer to the challenges my transnational clients experience.
Though court litigation may be necessary, I seek to encourage settlement and mediation. I strive to provide responsive, attentive and knowledgeable answers to my clients’ questions.
I am committed to constantly reevaluate my performance through valuable client feedback and the in depth study of each case outcome.”
