My Story

What is one thing about your work that most people don't know?

There are thousands of good lawyers who care about their clients as though they were loved ones. They believe in what they do and take cases not because there's money in it, but because they want to do what is right.

What makes you most proud of the work you do?

Almost every day I am confident that I can look back at something I did and say, "I think I helped someone do something that they think is important." It's a really good feeling, even when long odds feel very heavy.
