About

I came to Salesforce from inside a law firm, so I know what the person doing the work needs to see next.

My first legal job was answering intake calls. From there I ran marketing, then operations, and started building the firm's systems myself. That firm became my first client and still is one.

Since then I have led at least 14 implementations end to end for personal injury, employment, workers' compensation and disability firms and for a State Bar, and I lead Mitratech CaseCloud Implementations as a partner. The work runs from settlement screens and call tracking to integrations, dashboards and AI agents.

I also know the finance side. I have run a handful of accounting implementations and manage accounting for several clients, so trust, settlements and fees are familiar ground.

I lead every engagement personally, from the first consultation through go-live and support.
