I guess I’m different.

In a meeting the other day, a few things came up that sets my office apart from the general perceptions of attorneys and law offices.

Forgiveness - I  believe that Jesus taught us to forgive.  This does not always fit with plaintiffs mindset toward their cases, but it is still important.  On the flip side of this, forgiveness is what allows me to do criminal defense.

Risk - I am all about planning.  I believe that businesses and individuals should do all they can to minimize their legal risks and liability.  However, where I differ from the general perception of attorneys is that I believe that sometimes we get too paranoid about liability.  We need to plan and pray, but we can’t live our lives fearing litigation.  The biggest problem I see is that often churches and Christ centered business don’t use their facilities and resources to their fullest potential.  This is due to their fearing opening their facilities and resources to the masses.

Politics - I’m a conservative.  I’m Pro-Life.  I’m a Christian. I believe that heterosexuality is the only sexuality.  These are principles that my office is based on.   I’m open and vocal about this, even though these views are generally not popular in the legal community.

So, these are some things that set me and my practice apart from others.  Whether or not clients or potential clients agree with the above views and principles is beyond my control, but I think its good for them to know.
