What I admire most about my clients is their ability to solve complex problems that arise in litigation in creative and dynamic ways and often in ways that make them and their employers look good. The best thing about Ward and Smith is being part of, and contributing to, the family business. Hired out of law school, the Firm reared and mentored me to become a productive member of not just the Firm, but my community and the legal profession as well.
I became a lawyer because lawyers make real differences in people's lives. We are professional worriers. If we do our job right, we take the worry from the client and solve problems.
