Q: What made you want to become an attorney?
A: I developed an interest in becoming an attorney at a young age from watching my father in the courtroom. He was an attorney, so growing up, I watched him represent people and help defend their interests. From a young age, I always viewed being an attorney as a noble profession.
Q: What has been your biggest success as an attorney?
A: While I have won trials, arbitrations and appeals, what I would consider some of my biggest successes have been settling some lawsuits that we were able to secure a large settlement for our client or able to defend claims against our clients with favorable settlement terms when they faced settle potential excessive verdicts.
