Something I’m Very Proud Of…
To call myself a civil rights lawyer. I am grateful to do work that is meaningful, to advocate for people who have been abused by authority, and to work with colleagues that believe so strongly in making a difference.
What I Love About My Work…
My clients: I learn from them as much as I help them. Investigation: I love figuring out the story behind the case and how to tell it to a jury. Balance: I have a rewarding career, with great office-mates, and still have time to spend time with my two beautiful daughters.
