Personal Note
What I love most about being a lawyer is that each case is like a puzzle. As a lawyer, you always have the opportunity to redesign your practice to accomplish unique goals. In my years of practice, I have been able to handle a variety of different claims and cases, and use my efforts to strategize different ways to achieve the best possible outcome.
When people meet me, they’re sometimes surprised by the fact that I am a big West Coast Swing Dancer. I travel to conventions where I participate in classes taught by champions, and even compete against other dancers of the same level. Dancing relieves me of stress, allows me to be creative, and connect with people around the world by not saying a word.
