From a young age, I have demonstrated an open mind. I am curious and inquisitive, regularly bringing a fresh perspective and sometimes approaching matters from a slightly different angle. Always with the goal I want to achieve in mind. These curious and creative qualities are very useful in my work. After all, the law is constantly evolving and sometimes a solution is closer with a slightly different approach. Personal and family law requires a human touch. I always keep the client's best interests in mind , which sometimes means being a little more accommodating. Additionally, I am determined and do not shy away from necessary confrontations.
