To be completely honest, my career as a personal injury attorney didn’t stem from some grand, noble epiphany. I simply made the decision to go to law school because I wanted a good education and a promising career. After that, I fell into the field of personal injury because that happened to be where I found work after law school. Even then, it took a little while before the gravity of my new position really hit me.

I was a young attorney, still making my way in the world, and handling one of my first injury cases. The woman I was representing was a meter maid who tore her Achilles tendon and had to miss a lot of work as a result. She was struggling financially, she was overwhelmed by stress, and she was in physical pain to boot. The moment the judge declared the verdict in her favor, she stood up, bawling, and gave me an enormous hug. It was only then that I truly began to appreciate just how much of a difference my work can make.

That was enough to light the fire in me. I am passionate about fighting for people who have been injured because someone else was careless. Every day I see how insurance companies mistreat those who are injured, and try to prevent them from getting the medical care and the help they need. The personal satisfaction I get from helping my clients put their lives back on track is beyond rewarding and makes my job the best in the world.

There are many rewarding aspects of my work, but to this day, I truly believe that the greatest feeling in the world is being able to look at a client after winning their case and saying, “It’s over. You’re taken care of.”
