When representing clients, Cid’s highest priority is to inform and educate them. His goal for each client is to fully understand their situation and the law as it applies to their case. He works tirelessly to master the details of every case, striving to learn the facts and applicable law better than anyone else in the courtroom.
Outside of work, Cid loves to spend time with his wife and two young children, enjoys lake days out on his boat and getting together with friends. His hobbies include bass fishing, motorcycle road racing, and restoring old motorcycles.
