My Why

What powers my practice

As a kid, I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer. Later, I discovered a passion for real estate and construction—fields where legal work translates into tangible results that shape communities. I’m driven by the opportunity to help clients navigate complexity and deliver outcomes that clearly benefit the places we live and work. Above all, I’m passionate about seeing my clients’ projects come to life.
