We selected eight of the best lawyers from around the state for portraits and asked them to share a favorite quotation and to tell us why they love what they do. These profiles appeared along with Woodward/White’s annual Best Lawyers in America list, as published in our November issue.

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
— Mark Twain

“I’ve been a construction lawyer for more than 30 years. My experience includes representing clients in every phase of the building process, while working for both large and small law firms. The sum total of that experience led me to open my own small legal office where I focus primarily on creating and negotiating custom contract packages for construction industry professionals. I enjoy the contract stage of the relationship, because it allows me build trust between the key players in a construction project who will inevitably spend several months or even years working together. Too often, I see this phase of negotiation become adversarial and the relationship suffers. I prefer to play a positive role in building a team, emphasizing fairness and inspiring collaboration when the relationship is being forged. We work hard, but the spaces between are filled with warmth, laughter and mutual respect.”
