On a personal note:
I enjoy my work because I thrive on helping businesses operate, creators create, and individuals live. With every client and case, I encounter new people from all walks of life. It's true that dispute resolution can be tough. But, the promises of removing uncertainty and bringing stability are well worth it.
The only problems I can't resolve come from my dog, Benny. His litigation strategy is to tantrum until he gets what he wants. I'm sad to say that, to date, he's prevailed in every case. I'm currently working on getting more couch space. Negotiations continue....
