I am passionate about transportation infrastructure and excited to help my clients envision, plan and realize these projects. I am especially energized by complex public policy problems that beg for creative solutions – whether for projects, litigation or counseling. I also take my clients’ interests and goals very personally and appreciate that every project brings unique challenges and that every client’s needs and political realities are likewise unique. I try to understand and adapt to these particular needs in approaching problems. Finally, I know that too few lawyers understand the importance of clear, plain-English communications. Since my clients are usually not lawyers, I work hard to not be a stuffy lawyer – and to translate complex legal issues into practical, useful language.
