I have found that getting the best results in litigation depends on mastering the big picture – strategy – and also the little picture – the details. To develop an accurate big picture, you need the details. I think I’m good at both. I’m detail oriented, and I enjoy using the details to develop a good, accurate big picture and strategy.
