  1. Why did you choose to go into law?
    1. My dad’s a lawyer and I have a lot of lawyers in the family, so it seemed like a good fit.
  2. What is your specific field of law?
    1. Probate and real estate law.
  3. How do you set yourself apart from other firms in the area?
    1. Location, for one thing. I’m on the Westside where there aren’t a lot of lawyers. Longevity, also. I’ve been there since 1979, so I have a lot of experience.
  4. What do you see as the greatest challenges in your practice?
    1. Dealing with personalities of clients, some are like angels while others are a bit difficult. You just have to learn how to handle people.
  5. What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment as an attorney?
    1. You get a good feeling when you’ve had a successful outcome. You’ve save the client aggravation and money, and they’re pleased with what you’ve done. There’s been a lot of those instances.
  6. How do you stay connected to the Jacksonville community? Are you involved in any local organizations?
    1. Westside Business Leaders Association, been in that since ‘93, I believe. Some religious groups also.
  7. What advice would you give someone considering going to law school?
    1. Study hard and then, when you get out, get a mentor to show you the ropes. I had my dad, so that made it a lot easier.
