Get To Know Oliver

From Art to Advocacy

All great art tells a story, whether through paint, print, or song. Through the use of story, we discover new perspectives about the world and ourselves and inform others of who we are. This is what draws me to art, literature, music, and the creative process. In a similar way, legal proceedings are about telling a story. Within the frame of the law and the facts, I try to convey my client’s story in the most persuasive way. In order to effectively tell a client’s story, it is important to frequently engage with and listen to the client. Participating in the creative process provides the additional benefit of viewing complex problems in unique ways and realizing solutions which fit the needs of a particular client. When I am not working, I rejuvenate by looking for the next good book at an overstuffed used bookstore, listening to music, and when I get the chance checking off one of the world’s great art museums from my list. I also participate in the creative process by playing in a band, writing and recording original music.
