Personal Note

I was drawn to practice law because each case is unique. This breaks up the monotony that occurs in many professions. It requires the attorney to assess each situation and devise a tailored solution.
One of my passions is traveling. I believe experiencing other cultures is vital for the development of a well-rounded individual. By understanding different values and beliefs, one can incorporate those views and apply them to their lives. These experiences can help shape the individual.
