Profile:

I have practiced law in Chicago for 46 years and have represented clients with a wide variety of business problems. When my clients need help in areas in which I do not practice, I am able to refer them to lawyers who meet their needs. I believe in maintaining the highest ethical standards, which includes giving excellent value to my clients for the fees they pay me. I enjoy the practice of law for the intellectual stimulation it provides and for the ability to help clients solve their problems.

Areas of Practice:

Business Law, General Practice
