Why I Practice Law:

My father's dream was to be a lawyer. He attended Harvard Law School but joined the U.S. Army during World War II and was never able to finish his legal education. I originally became a lawyer to fulfill my father's dreams. However, my career is about so much more than that. I take great pride and satisfaction in helping others resolve their legal issues.
