I have practiced law for almost 20 years although it does not seem that long. I have chosen my practice areas in indigent criminal defense, education law, and now workers' compensation because all have allowed me to work for an individual. I enjoy the connection with a live person for whom I can advocate. I like to get to know the person I respresent. My clients are more than mere case numbers. I am more effective if I can empathize with and understand the individuals for whom I argue.
Becoming a lawyer was never the ultimate goal. It has always been a means to an end. It is a way in which I can use my expertise to help people maneuver their way through an otherwise confusing and complicated legal system in order to invoke rights or request redress.
I spend my spare time with my husband and two energetic sons. We enjoy travelling the world together and exploring new places, but in many ways, every day is an adventure. There are very few dull moments in my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
