Biography
After practicing law in a small firm for ten years, I sought a different path that would merge my training in the law with my passion for business. I now advise and counsel lawyers who seek excellence in the practice by providing superior legal and customer service to their clients, while maintaining a balanced quality of life.
I am pleased to contribute to the discourse in the legal profession on the issues of business process improvement, technology, legal ethics, financial management, attorney-client communications, and risk management. In addition to the information and commentary on this blog, I am the author of numerous practice management articles and publications on these topics. (See Digital Ink for a sampling of articles on-line.)
In addition, I have had the honor of being invited to speak and present on these issues at legal conferences across North America, including the Missouri Bar Solo & Small Firm Conference; Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association; Oklahoma Solo & Small Firm Conference; ABA TECHSHOW; Arizona Bar Annual Meeting; Virginia Trial Lawyers Solo & Small Firm Conference; Law Society of Upper Canada/Ontario Bar Association Solo & Small Firm Conference; American Academy of Adoption Attorneys Annual Conference; Pacific Legal Technology Conference; National Solo and Small Firm Conference (sponsored by the ABA GP Solo Division); and numerous conferences sponsored by other ABA Sections.
I am proud to be an active member of the ABA Law Practice Management Section, currently serving on the ABA TECHSHOW Planning Board, as well as on the LPM Section governing council. I also serve as a member of the ABA General Practice Solo and Small Firm Section Technology Board. In 2008, I was honored to be inducted into the College of Law Practice Management.
I am admitted to the bars of Minnesota, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
I lead an active family life with my wife and our three sons, who think we run a bank and a taxi service for their sole pleasure. When not at home in Virginia, we like to travel the US, discover local diners, drive-ins and dives, and ride roller coasters until we, well, um, can't anymore.
