- Business DisputesOver the years, I've been faced with a number of matters in which I've referred clients to Valerie because she was simply not only a better, but also the best fit for cases that were out of my area of specialty. She has a wealth of experience in both criminal and business law, including stints in the federal arena, which makes her a natural for any matters that demand a level of familiarity with federal agencies. Her demeanor in the courtroom and natural ability to deal with people make Valerie invaluable; she has an iron fist in a silk glove, simultaneously disarming and powerful—Valerie is confident, comfortable, and very talented. I refer my clients to her because I know any client I send her way will be treated right and given the highest level of service.
