What inspired you to become an Attorney?

I became an attorney because when I was sixteen years old, we had a mock trial with our class and it involved a personal injury case. We had lawyers, witnesses, judges and a jury. I happened to be the lawyer for the injured person. I cannot forget that I lost the trial because we had the student who was supposedly injured dressed up with bandages oozing with blood. The jury could not believe that, knowing the trial would’ve occurred long after the trauma, that she still would be wrapped in bandages oozing with blood. After losing the trial, I set out never to lose another one.

I am motivated every day to find the absolute best people, processes, or systems to make sure our clients receive full and fair compensation for their injuries. We know, insurance companies are working day and night with an army of people trying to figure out how to pay as little as possible to folks injured. We need to work even harder. I am inspired by personal injury law because I always root for the underdog, I always want to set the wrongs in this world right, and I am mostly inspired because our clients have misfortune and injury thrust into their live through no fault of their own and they need help.
