A general practice of one, a short walk from the courthouse, for the farm families, shop owners and neighbors of Reno County.

After law school I spent a few years at a larger firm, mostly writing contracts for companies I never met. I learned to draft carefully. I didn't learn anyone's name.

When I came home, the first person through the door was a neighbor of my parents with a farm lease written on the back of a feed-store receipt. The second was a woman buying the flower shop she'd worked in for years. That's still the practice: whatever a town needs from its lawyer, short of the cases that deserve a specialist.

I answer my own phone when I can. I write fees down before I start. And I would rather tell you that you don't need me than take a matter I can't do well.
