Legal issues never occur in a vacuum. How legal issues are resolved reverberates throughout a business. This is especially true for small businesses. Even the most profitable, fully capitalized small business can be severely compromised by a legal issue that is not properly handled.

Knowing and understanding the “forest” allows him to help the client manage the legal issues for each individual “tree” of the client’s business and life. When it comes to representing his clients, Gary always begins with the clients’ end in mind.
