In Anthony's Own Words

Why I Became a Business Attorney

I became a business attorney to help business owners like you.

I've been an entrepreneur since I was about seven, when I sold paper snowflakes door-to-door. Later came lemonade stands, greeting cards, and eventually businesses of my own.

At Yale Law School, I focused on corporate and commercial law and even took financial management courses. Helping fellow entrepreneurs felt like a natural career choice, and running my own law firm has been my most fulfilling venture.

I'm a Teacher at Heart

I've taught as an adjunct professor and volunteered as a teacher at my church. That same passion for teaching influences how I work with clients.

I want business owners to understand their situation, the options available to them, and how to move forward. Just as importantly, I want them to know how to avoid similar problems in the future.

How I Approach Business Problems

My training as an electrical and computer engineer at the University of Michigan taught me to approach problems analytically. I enjoy untangling complex business issues and helping clients find a clear path forward.

I also take time to understand how my clients and the people they're dealing with think. Understanding both sides' expectations helps me approach negotiations and agreements more effectively.

The Values That Guide My Work

My spiritual faith shapes how I treat people and approach my responsibilities.

Five principles guide my work: Trustworthy, Reliable, Available, Caring, and Knowledgeable (TRACK).

To me, these mean putting my clients' interests first, keeping my commitments, being accessible, showing compassion, and having the knowledge and skills to help.

These are principles I strive to demonstrate in every client relationship.

I'm here to help you reach your goals.
