About 

Mr. Champlin

I believe you ought to know as much as possible about the lawyer you are considering to represent you.  You should ask questions and "qualify" the lawyer, just like the lawyer asks you questions to "qualify" you as a client.   I want you to have available the information you otherwise might not ask for.  So, please look this Professional Summary over and call me to discuss your needs.  PLEASE NOTE that while I have done so in the past, I no longer wish to engage in any litigation or matters in dispute.
