1981 –
Current
- I began practicing law in Springfield Illinois in 1981. In 2000, my partner became a judge, and I have been solo since that time.
I formerly took on virtually any case. But the law has now grown too complicated for me to be “all things to all people”. As a result, I limit my practice to a few areas, and I know the law in those areas quite well.
