Personal Note
In my career, the most important lesson I’ve learned is that the law is not just about statutes and precedents; it’s about people and their stories. I cherish helping clients navigate legal complexities, believing in the blend of legal acumen and humanity. Humor and the human element play vital roles in my approach to law, illustrated by memorable moments like a cat’s unexpected cameo during a negotiation.
