I have practiced law from a Johnson County, Kansas office for several decades now, obtaining my Juris Doctor degree from K.U. in 1969. In 1975, I purchased a piece of history, being the native limestone store-front building which fronts on the original town square of Shawnee on Johnson Drive, where I have since conducted my practice. This longevity and stability alone distinguishes me from virtually all other Johnson County attorneys. A tracking sheet would be needed to follow the office moves of most other attorneys over a comparable number of years. WHAT LAW PRACTICED. I do not limit my practice to only one or two areas of the law. I set a goal, very early in my legal career, to become experienced and skilled in a number of areas of the law to the extent that it would set me apart from most of my peers. I wanted to become one attorney upon whom clients could rely for most all of their legal needs. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to exclude from my practice selected a reas of the law in which most clients would never likely need help (such as criminal and bankruptcy), and other areas of the law requiring a particularly high degree of concentrated study (such as income taxation and securities registration). I have excluded other selected areas as well. In an exceptional instance when a client needs help in an area of the law in which I do not practice, I serve my clients by bringing in an attorney known to me.
