Accomplishments

Starting my journey in the army, I gained invaluable discipline, leadership, and strategic thinking skills that have stayed with me throughout my career. Transitioning into the business world, I developed a deep understanding of commercial dynamics, negotiations, and the importance of building solid relationships. As a lawyer, I combine these experiences to offer a unique approach to legal practice. My background in the military and business has equipped me with a distinctive perspective, allowing me to navigate complex legal challenges with precision and insight. This path has not only shaped who I am as a professional but has also fueled my commitment to excellence in every case I handle.
