The majority of my practice is devoted to representing individuals and small businesses - and that's the way I like it. I knew after law school that I wanted to be a trial lawyer. What I didn't realize at the time was what a close relationship would develop with the people I represent and how important that would become to me.
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the "underdogs" who are willing to fight for what they believe in. I guess that's because I've often been one myself. To me, being an attorney is about helping people find justice.
