Personal Philosophy: Don’t be afraid, don’t back down.
“Lawyers have one primary and essential purpose: to be in your corner, by your side, ensuring that you have a fair fight against whomever or whatever is on the other side.
Oftentimes, the people and organizations you are up against are well-positioned to hide and delay, embarrass you and out-spend you. They have every incentive to make you believe that they are big and powerful and that you are not.
Stopping that from happening by leveling the playing field is exactly the reason I became a lawyer.”
