     When I was 16 years old I was seriously injured in an automobile accident. I suffered personal injuries to my liver and had to have my spleen removed. My mother hired an attorney to bring a lawsuit against the person who injured me. By the time the case settled I was a freshman at the University of Connecticut. I was looking for a career and wasn't quite sure what I wanted to be. My experience with being injured, dealing with my attorney, settling the case etc. inspired me to become an attorney myself. I declared my major, graduated UConn, and then put myself through law school. Thirty (30) years later I am still representing clients thanks to that episode that influenced me so long ago. 

     In 2018 I celebrated my 30th year in practice. I have run my own office since 1994, which makes me a self-employed businessman. 2018 also marked my 27 year wedding anniversary. I have purchased and sold homes, lost loved ones, dealt with running a business... in short, I have experienced most of the situations my clients experience and so bring a great frame of reference to my practice. In short, my own life experiences allow me to empathize with my clients, which makes me a better attorney. 

     As for the "disciplinary action" on my face page... My reply speaks for itself. That was in 1993. I was 32 years old, a completely different person that who I am today. And I refuse to let that episode, or AVVO's posting of it, define who I am.
