My favorite part of being a lawyer is hands down the connections I’m able to form with my clients. I’ve always been a people person, and I love the personal aspect of advocating on behalf of someone. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend a top law school and work in a variety of law firms and offices, representing everyone from everyday Arizona locals to large, multinational corporations. Though I’m thankful for the experience, I much prefer representing the underdog.
My approach to cases is to, in a sense, work backwards. I work in collaboration with my clients to come up with the ideal result and then figure out the most straightforward route to get there. From there, my job is to execute on that strategy without cutting corners, while always keeping the lines of communication open.
Outside of work, I’m constantly challenging myself with new hobbies. On any given day you can find me golfing with friends, working on my Brazilian jiu-jitsu, cooking, or playing my guitar.

I began my career as an inspired entrepreneur with a big idea. Starting a company isn’t easy, but I was surprised at how difficult it was to work with an attorney. I saw this as an opportunity and pivoted to pursue a career as a legal professional. After graduating from a top law school and working at respected Arizona firms, I co-founded Glide Legal. I’ve focused my career on providing legal counsel to entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes, from national corporations to local Arizona start-ups and family run businesses.
My approach is simple, to help you navigate your legal issues without standing in the way of business and innovation. Every business can benefit from having trusted legal counsel in their corner, and Glide Legal was built to be just that.
I enjoy the challenge of mastering a new craft. Beyond the practice of law, my obsessions include golfing, backpacking and exploring new places with my wife, and playing guitar/songwriting.

You aren't legally required to hire an attorney to form an LLC, but working with one helps ensure your entity is set up correctly, your operating agreement reflects how you actually intend to run the business, and you avoid common mistakes that can create problems later. Glide Legal handles LLC setup for businesses across Maricopa County.
A business attorney helps with the legal matters that come up throughout the life of a company, forming the business, drafting and reviewing contracts, handling employment agreements, protecting your brand, and managing the purchase or sale of a business. The goal is to keep your business on solid legal footing so you can focus on running it.
The best time to involve an attorney is before a problem arises. Common moments include starting the business, signing significant contracts, hiring employees or contractors, entering a partnership, or buying or selling a company. Getting legal input early is almost always less expensive than fixing an issue after the fact.
Look for an attorney with experience handling similar business matters, familiarity with your industry, and a communication style that works for you during the consultation. It also helps to prioritize clear fee structures.
